Well, maybe because in your first calculation you had two atoms, and
64 in the second one.....You should try to see if multiplying
-107.10 by 64/2 improve the comparison....<br>

<div>Initially I had run my input script with ecut=100Ry and
k-points= 11 11 11 1 1 1. At that time my energy was
-107.10Ry. During this run, I had specified only two atomic
positions (Ca: 0 0 0, O: 0.5 0.5 0.5)<br>

<div>For the same system but with ecut=60Ry and k-points= 3 3 3
1 1 1 the calculated energy was -3427.40Ry. During this run, I

<div>Why does total energy value vary so much?<br>
