Re: Tmoves in large systems
Hi Andrea, From what I remember - if you go through the logic of the code CASINO's T-move scheme is implemented in the size-consistent way and it always was (even though it was written before Casula's second paper of 2010). The only thing necessary to bring it up to date following the 2010 paper (at...

Re: Tmoves in large systems
See DIARY entry 2.13.385 from 2014: ---[v2.13.385]--- * Updated the DMC T-move scheme to incorporate Casula's 2010 advice that one should use a symmetric branching factor rather than the asymmetric one used in the original 2006 paper, on account of the fact that you then get smaller time step biases...

Re: Tmoves in large systems
Hi Katharina, Short answers: Does anybody have experience in whether I would run into memory issues for such a system? Depends on the the number of nuclei not just the number of electrons. The main memory-hogging vectors are dimensioned as ( number of points in non-local grid x number of electrons x...

Re: vmc memory usage
Just in case anyone was following this thread, I'm updating it with the final solution that was found. Katherina's memory problem on Cartesius turned out to be an issue with the SLURM job scheduler - see below. Essentially it looked at how much shared memory was required, then multiplied that by the...

Re: vmc memory usage
OK - I ran your calc with 24 processes in Shm mode using the current 2.13.561 version of CASINO on my personal machine (which has 12 physical cores and 24Gb memory i.e. much less memory than yours). The job ran normally: total energy = -1864.8(2). So there are a number of possibilities for the issue...

Re: vmc memory usage
Hi Katharina,
OK - I'm going to need to run it myself. Can you mail me all the input files I need to do the calculation (no need to send the large bwfn.data file - I'll recreate it myself from your PWSCF input).
Best,
Mike

Re: vmc memory usage
Hi Katharina, Can you describe exactly how you are running the calculation (i.e. the exact runqmc command, or whatever..). Can you also post your out file (you'll need to gzip it to attach it to a post..). Best, Mike PS: haven't forgotten the other stuff you asked me privately. Hoping to get round t...

Summer 2016 QMC summer school
Dear all, Even though the builders are still here, the Apuan Alps Centre for Physics in Vallico Sotto is now officially reopening for business after its 18-month refurbishment, and I'm now advertising the tenth Quantum Monte Carlo and the CASINO program summer school which will take place in the las...

Re: Something about ewald fortran code
Hi Yecheng,
I remembered that Steve Lionel - otherwise known as Doctor Fortran - had a nice article on this sort of thing which has some further details:

Re: QMC on large systems
Hi Shiv,
Actually here's a link to the DMC-MD discussion document:
http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/gm_towler.pdf
I thought it would be a bit too undiplomatic to publish but I guess it's OK.
Cheers
Mike
