If you get a segmentation fault immediately upon running, it is usually an OpenMP conflict. Try setting: export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 in your submission script, or recompile with -qopenmp flags removed if you don't need threading.
This version famously integrated the SCAN (Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed) meta-GGA functional. In the "deep story" of materials science, SCAN was a breakthrough, offering near-chemical accuracy for various bonding types (like van der Waals forces) without the massive computational cost of previous methods. vasp.5.4.4.tar.gz
For large systems where the Gamma point is sufficient, this version is roughly twice as fast as the standard vasp_std . If you get a segmentation fault immediately upon
