[Pw_forum] performance of occupation='fixed' and ='smearing'

[shypirate]

Thank you for your replying.
But after I make a "diff", I still have trouble to find out the difference resulting in performance difference. For example, the data in "G cutoff" and "Largest allocated arrays" and "Largest temporary arrays" sections take exactly the same values. So, which parameter do you suggest is candidate for performance difference?
Hope for your suggestions,
Best Wishes,
Y.P.Wang

make a "diff" between the two outputs and you will see why.
