ELPH_WF_COMM_OPT = [integer]
Default: ELPH_WF_COMM_OPT = 0 

Description: Selects the MPI communication pattern used to exchange orbitals between different MPI ranks.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

The available options are:

  • 0 — Use two-sided MPI communication (default)
  • 1 — Use one-sided MPI communication

Some MPI libraries have shown instability or performance issues when using one-sided communication. If unexpected behavior occurs, it is recommended to keep the default setting ELPH_WF_COMM_OPT = 0.
