This page gives hints on how to perform GWR calculations
## Introduction
A cubic scaling real-space imaginary-time algorithm for GW and RPA is available.
See the theory in [[cite:Liu2016]] and related references.
An overview is available in the tutorial [[tutorial:gwr_intro|An overview of the GWR code]].
This implementation relies on the minimax time-frequency grids
available in the GreenX library [[cite:Azizi2023]].
At present, only norm-conserving pseudopotentials can be used. The implementation is restricted to non-magnetic materials,
and without spin-orbit coupling.
Still, different types of flows and algorithms (including self-consistency) are available, see [[gwr_task]].
Activate it using [[optdriver]]=6, and specify [[gwr_task]].
NOTE: GWR code is under active development and not yet ready for production runs.
