Dear wien2k users,
I cannot re-run structural optimization without initialization.
When I use "mini.position" from w2web graphical interface, the "-NI"
switch works properly, but when I run MPI-paralleized optimization
task on the cluster using *.csh script, "-NI" has no effect.
So the results of the different commands in my *.csh script:
min -i 100 -s 10 -j 'run_lapw -p -I -i 40 -ec 0.001 -fc 1.0 -cc 0.001'
and
min -NI -i 100 -s 10 -j 'run_lapw -p -I -i 40 -ec 0.001 -fc 1.0 -cc 0.001'
are exactly the same - DSTART is performed prior scf cycle.
Ofcourse this is not what I want. The maximal time limit on our
cluster is 240h and for large surface calculations I am forced to
interrupt and continue the same task several times.
I will be extremely thankfull for any advices and suggestions.
