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


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 of the compression algorithm. If a positive value of MSDGW_F is found, states beyond MSDGW_NP are subdivided into energy bins of width and replaced by their average energy , such that . 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.
