N.B.: VASP version 6.x has been compiled with support for OpenMP, HDF5, and Wannier90. The CPU version versions additionally supports Libxc. The , and the version 6.4.2 supports additionally includes the DFTD4 van-der-Waals functional as well.
Executables
Our installations of VASP comprise the regular executables (vasp_std
, vasp_gam
, vasp_ncl
) and, optionally, community driven modifications to VASP as shown in the table below. They are available in the directory added to the PATH
environment variable by one of the vasp
environment modules.

In the following example, we show a job script that will run on the Nvidia A100 GPU nodes (Berlin). Per default, VASP will use one GPU per MPI task. If you plan to use 4 GPUs per node, you need to set 4 MPI tasks per node. Then, set the number of OpenMP threads to 18 (because 4x18=72 which is the number of CPU cores on these nodes) to speed up your calculation. This, however, also requires proper process pinning.
