Memory demanding for Haydoc and Inversion of BSE

Post by sdwang » Fri Aug 16, 2019 4:01 pm

Dear developers,
I am running BSE using Haydoc and Inversion of solver,and I have found the Inversion needs much more memories than Haydoc solvers. Is It true?
I have kept the all other parameters the same for H and I solvers.

Thanks!

Dear Shudong,
yes this is the case. In Haydock there is a memory distribution among cpu's which is not present in the inversion technique.
