Should I select Double Precision or Single Precision GPU card for VASP GPU Version?
Posted: Thu May 02, 2024 1:48 pm
Dear VASP Community,
I am considering the GPU-accelerated version of VASP. I understand that accuracy is paramount in these calculations, and I am trying to decide between a double precision and a single precision GPU.
Could you please provide advice on whether a double precision GPU is necessary for reliable results with VASP? Are there particular simulations within VASP that absolutely require double precision GPU card? I would greatly appreciate any insights or shared experiences from the community.
Thank you for your guidance and support.
Best regards,
Zhao
