Description: Number of pseudo orbitals per compressed energy of mixed stochastic-deterministic compression algorithm.[1]


MSDGW_NXI sets the number of stochastic orbitals per energy in the unprotected space beyond band MSDGW_NP. This tag is set in combination with MSDGW_F, the constant energy ratio of the compression algorithm. If a positive value of MSDGW_F is found, energies beyond the protected space defined by MSDGW_NP are subdivided into energy bins of width and replaced by their average energy , such that . The original orbitals are replaced by MSDGW_NXI randomly linear combined orbitals. Larger values of MSDGW_NXI decrease the compression level and improve accuracy of results. The same holds true for smaller values of MSDGW_F.

Mind: Avaliable as of VASP version > 6.5.0.
