Typical VASP errors encountered and fix associated with them. Usually encountered and fixed with v5.4.4.
Solution: Usually it is faced with LSORBIT = .TRUE.
with PREC = Normal
. Usually setting PREC = Accurate
resolves the issue.
Caveat: For GW calculations, PREC = Accurate
increases the memory requirement by manifold.
Solution: Usually the solution is to change ALGO
tag to something else.
But if this happens during many bands step of single shot GW (G0W0),
then changing ALGO
is not possible as for this step exact
diagonalization is needed. The solution is to change
ALGO
from Exact
to Damped
. According to
VASP documentation,
Damped
also does exact diagonalization.
