MPBI(1)

💖 MPBI 💖

okay bestie, so you know mpb? this is the inversion-symmetry version of it. two commands live in here: mpbi and mpbi-split. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

• mpbi — it's mpb, but with inversion symmetry turned on
• mpbi-split — it's mpb-split, but it runs mpbi instances

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This manual page gives you the quick lowdown on the mpbi and mpbi-split commands. fr fr, it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original programs don't ship with a manual page at all. not them being mysterious 🙈

So here's the tea: mpbi is a version of mpb that's built to require inversion symmetry. The catch (and yes, there's always a catch) is that it can only compute the eigenstates of structures that actually have inversion symmetry. But the payoff? It runs twice as fast as mpb and requires half as much memory. it's giving main character energy, honestly 👑

And mpbi-split is equivalent to mpb-split, except it runs mpbi instances instead. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨
