Diffuse functions problem


Just Got Here
Hi when I add diffuse functions to my basis set, either 6-31+G(d,p) or 6-31++G(d,p), I get an error.

However, without diffuse functions, calculation is running normal.
Do you have any idea what to do?

Running out of global memory
Dpetrovic,
You are running out of global memory.
You can either a) increase the amount of global memory in the memory line of the input file or
b) decrease the number of matrices stored for DIIS.

I would recommend option b). You can implement it by typing the following lines in the DFT input section


dft
 convergence diis 5
end


The example above reduces the number of stored matrices from 10 to 5.
