Compiling VASP in single precision

#1 Post by jlrch » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:31 pm

Imho, it would be helpful for large, memory demanding systems where one can trade off functionality over precision. So, is it possible to compile VASP in single precision without having to make a lot of changes to the code?
