NBLOCK DMC STATS Same as dmc stats nblock.<br />

NEQUIL TA Same as vmc reequil nstep.<br />

NMOVE Same as vmc nstep/(vmc nblock∗dmc ave period∗nproc).<br />

NMOVE DMC EQUIL Same as dmc equil nstep/(dmc equil nblock∗dmc decorr period).<br />

NMOVE DMC STATS Same as dmc stats nstep/(dmc stats nblock∗dmc decorr period).<br />

NMOVE DMCT EQUIL Same as dmc reequil nstep.<br />

NUM DMC TWISTS Same as dmc ntwist.<br />

NVMCAVE Same as vmc ave period.<br />

NWRCON Same as vmc nconfig write/nproc.<br />

PARALLEL KEYWORDS When set to total, modifies the meaning <strong>of</strong> the other keywords described<br />

in this list in a way equivalent to setting nproc= 1 in the definitions (this was a first<br />

attempt at simplifying the VMC/DMC input; alternatively the ‘new’ keyword set can be used,<br />

and hence this keyword has now been flagged as REDUNDANT).<br />

TRIP POPN Same as dmc trip weight/nproc.<br />

VMC TWIST AV Flag set whenever vmc ntwist> 0.<br />

7.4 Optimizable-parameter file: correlation.data<br />

7.4.1 The correlation.data file<br />

The correlation.data file contains all the optimizable parameters in the trial wave function that<br />

allow the QMC wave function to improve upon the wave function produced by the generating code.<br />

Specifically, the file contains the parameters that define<br />

• a Jastrow factor (see Sec. 7.4.2)<br />

• a backflow function (see Sec. 7.4.3)<br />

• determinant-expansion coefficients (see Sec. 7.4.4)<br />

• modifications to numerical atomic orbitals (see Sec. 7.4.5)<br />

• modifications to HF/DFT molecular orbitals represented in a Gaussian basis. (see Sec. 7.4.6)<br />

• parameters relating to HEGs and pairing wave functions (see Sec. 7.4.7)<br />

The sets may be given in any order, and not all sets need to be given. The correlation.data file<br />

may also contain a header block, with information about the contents. The format is:<br />

START HEADER<br />

Correlation data for MgSiO3 calculations.<br />

Can have several lines, if desired.<br />

END HEADER<br />
