<p>I am a fairly new
CP2K user and I am trying to perform some calculations on a
non-periodic molecular system of 657 atoms.
</p>
<p>I am writing because
I do not fully understand which keywords I should use and I have the
feeling I am doing some rookie mistakes.<br></p><p>At the moment I am
trying to do some DFT calculations with the PBE functional and the
dispersion correction. The molecule is about 35 Angstrom long and so
I chose a 50x50x50 cell. The system is organometallic, contains 8 Fe
atoms and the BF4- counterions. I tried to use
the DZVP basis set but I quickly reached 100GB of occupied memory, is
it normal? I am using the non "PERIODIC NONE" and "PSOLVER
WAVELET" keywords and the FULL_KINETIC preconditioner. I
am using 5 grids with cutoff equal to 400 and rel_cutoff equal to 60.
I tried to maintain all the other options as “default” as
possible. I enclose the input and the output of the calculation. (I am aware that the attached example did not converge and that I can change the number of SCF iterations)<br></p><p>I would like to know
if those options are adequate for the type of calculation I am
performing and if there is room for any improvement in the efficiency
or in the convergence, since this calculation seems to converge
particularly slowly. Any help or reference will be greatly
appreciated.
</p><p>Thanks in advance
for your time and patience.
</p><p>Kind regards,
</p><p>Marco Severi
