I cannot find any information above the "vdw_kernel.bindat" and "vdw_kernel.bindat.big_endian" files in vasp-portal.

Any tips for this will be helpful.

Regards,
Zhao

I tried a search through the whole source code of vasp.6.4.2 and found the following entries:

Code: Select all

werner@X10DAi:~/Public/hpc/vasp$ find . -regextype posix-extended -type f -iregex '.*/vdw.*kernel.*'
./src/vasp.6.4.2/testsuite/tests/CuC_vdW_RPR/vdw_kernel.bindat
./src/vasp.6.4.2/testsuite/tests/CuC_vdW/vdw_kernel.bindat
I'm not sure if this is the distribution method for these files in the currently released version of vasp.

Dear Zhao,

The vdw_kernel.bindat.gz and vdw_kernel.bindat.big_endian.gz files should be available on the VASP portal right below the link for the source code. Are you able to download the source code from the portal?

Dear alexey.tal,

I'm a standard license member, so I cannot download the source code.

Only the license signatory or primary contact person of a license can download the code, pseudopotentials, etc. You should ask her/him to download vdw_kernel.bindat.gz and vdw_kernel.bindat.big_endian.gz files and forward them to you.
