Thank you for your previous help. I have some more silly questions about running BSE with Yambo code. I try calculate absorption spectrum of 2D MoS2. The SCF calculation is done by QE with the primer cell (only one MoS2) with 24*24*1 K-mesh. There are 26 electrons included in the SCF, no SOC. In all Yambo calculations, I always use 4 Nodes with 192 cores. In the static screening calculation, I only include 4000 G-vectors.If I use 6000 G-vectors, the calculation job will crash due to insufficient virtural memory. In BSE kernel and diago solver, as you can see, I only specify BSENGexx= 2000 RL and BSENGBlk= 400 RL. It seems to take 12 hours to finish the job.
My question is how to estimate the number of G-vectors used in the exchange components and block size? What is the threthold that it is enough to cut-off at spcific number, 4000 or 5000? Thank you.
The r_setup file is attached in the attachment.
