“New GPAW”

The GPAW backend is currently undergoing significant refactoring. Occasionally we distinguish between “new” and “old” GPAW in the documentation.

Note

New GPAW is now the default!

For some operations, you will need to use old GPAW. See the release notes for which things this is. To explicitly use the old backend, use:

calc = GPAW(..., legacy_gpaw=True)
