Description: Number of protected bands in mixed stochastic-deterministic compression algorithm.[1]

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.6.0

MSDGW_NP determines how many bands are protected by the mixed stochastic-deterministic compression of unoccupied bands. Bands beyond MSDGW_NP are compressed. This tag is set in combination with MSDGW_F, the constant energy ratio [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math] of the compression algorithm. If a positive value of MSDGW_F is found, states beyond MSDGW_NP are subdivided into energy bins of width [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta E_i }[/math] and replaced by their average energy [math]\displaystyle{ E_i }[/math], such that [math]\displaystyle{ F=\Delta E_i/E_i }[/math]. The original orbitals are replaced by MSDGW_NXI randomly linear combined orbitals. Larger values of MSDGW_NXI decrease the compression level and improve accuracy of results. The same holds true for smaller values of MSDGW_F.
