LSYNCH5 = [logical]
Default: LSYNCH5 = .FALSE. 

Description: LSYNCH5 determines whether the output in vaspout.h5 is always synchronized with VASP while the calculation is running.


If you set this flag, VASP will enable single-writer-multiple-reader mode for the HDF5 file. This allows you to monitor the output using py4vasp while the calculation is still running.

Mind: Synchronizing the HDF5 file continuously comes with a computational cost. Please do your own testing whether that is a bottleneck for your calculation.
