<div>Hello CP2K developers,</div><div><br></div><div>I am using CP2K-6.1
and performed HF energy calculation for water molecule using GAPW method with an all electron basis. I used UHF for the run. When I use the same basis set and do the
same calculation with Gamess package (using spherical harmonics), I
observed energy differences of the order of 1E-04 with CP2K. I encountered similar issue before for atoms and increasing the size of atomic grids (lebedev and radial) and tightening convergence parameters <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cp2k/_jmKkh9lS0s/discussion" target="_blank">solved it</a>. Even with tighter convergence I am getting a slight mismatch for water molecule calculation. It was mentioned in an <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cp2k/RUFQScjSDn0/discussion" target="_blank">earlier post</a> that it is common to observe energy differences in few microhartree for small molecules with GAPW method. Is it okay to ignore this small difference or is there a chance to improve my calculation?<br></div>
