ML OUTPUT MODE: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:30, 20 March 2024

ML_OUTPUT_MODE = [integer]
Default: ML_OUTPUT_MODE = 1

Description: This tag allows to disable certain file output which helps to increase performance in molecular-dynamics simulations with machine-learned force fields in prediction-only mode (ML_MODE = run).

Mind: This tag is only available as of VASP.6.4.0.

This tag is useful in combination with ML_OUTBLOCK to further reduce per-time-step calculations and file output. The following options exist for this tag:

ML_OUTPUT_MODE = 1: Normal operation, output is written as usual in ab-initio molecular-dynamics simulations.
ML_OUTPUT_MODE = 0: Reduced file output mode, in contrast to normal operation the following changes apply:
- Pair-correlation functions are not computed.
- No output to PCDAT file.
- No pair_correlation output section in vaspout.h5
- No structure, varray name="forces" and varray name="stress" output sections in vasprun.xml
