-====== Which features are working with k-point sampling in CP2K? ======+For up-to-date information about k-point sampling in CP2K see the following links:
  
-Since CP2K 3.0 (Dec 2015) it is possible to carry out DFT calculations with multiple k-points in CP2K.  However, there are several features combinations that are not yet implemented.  This page summarises what is known to work and what is not...+  * https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k/issues/4854

-==== Working Functionality ==== 
- 
-  * Single-point energy calculations with LDA/GGA XC functionals using both GPW and GAPW methods. 
-  * Forces and stresses are implemented (but not well tested).  In principle geometry/cell optimisation and MD should work (see restrictions below). 
-  * MONKHORST-PACK, MACDONALD and GENERAL explicit k-point grids may be used 
-  * Printing of eigenvalues per k-point / band structures 
- 
-==== Restrictions ==== 
- 
-  * Propagation of the wavefunctions/density is not implemented (so [[inp>FORCE_EVAL/DFT/QS.html#EXTRAPOLATION|EXTRAPOLATION]] should be USE_GUESS ) 
-  * MO derivatives are not available - i.e. OT with k-points is not supported, only DIAGONALIZATION. 
-  * Only FULL_GRIDs of kpoints may be used, no reduction due to symmetry is supported.
