I performed a wave-function optimization, geometry optimization, cell optimization, and a NVE ensemble calculation all using the module. However, now that I am running the NPT calculation using the module it seems to hang. It reads in all the parameters from a previous restart file, it starts to initiate the process but gets stuck in the SCF optimization routine. It doesn't print an error message, it just stays at that position until the wall time comes along and kills the process. Sometimes it completes a lot of SCF optimization steps, sometimes it gets through none.</div><div><br></div><div>What I've done so far to try to remedy the problem is that I've tried compiling CP2K myself and running the calculation using that executable instead of the module.
