An additional question: after a global run, where the last step did not converge within the WALLTIME I set in the input:<div><br></div><div><font face="Courier New"> *** SCF run terminated - exceeded requested execution time: 86340.000 seconds.<br><br> *** Execution time now: 86340.037 seconds.<br></font><br></div><div>What is stored in the restart data? The last converged MD step or the one that did not converge? Could this be why I get this error when I try to start a production run form this? Sorry for the newbie questions.</div><div><br></div><div><font face="Courier New">READ RESTART : WARNING : nspin is not equal <br><br> *******************************************************************************<br> * ___ *<br> * / \ *<br> * [ABORT] *<br> * \___/ Reducing nspin is not possible. *<br> * | *<br> * O/| *<br> * /| | *<br> * / \ qs_mo_io.F:708 *<br> *******************************************************************************<br><br><br> ===== Routine Calling Stack ===== <br><br> 8 read_mo_set_from_restart<br> 7 calculate_first_density_matrix<br> 6 scf_env_initial_rho_setup<br> 5 init_scf_run<br> 4 qs_energies<br> 3 qs_forces<br> 2 qs_mol_dyn_low<br> 1 CP2K</font><br></div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Monday, June 13, 2022 at 11:42:26 AM UTC+2 Sam Broderick wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Dear cp2k aficionados,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It seems to me that I have run into a strong limitation of cp2k, but I am not know enough to anything close to sure.
