save_potential

This keyword sets the number of of generations between writing a nep.txt checkpoint file. If <format> is set to 0 the output file name is formatted as nep_gen[generation].txt. If <format> is set to 1 the output file name is formatted as nep_y[year]_m[month]_d[day]_h[hour]_m[minute]_s[second]_generation[generation].txt. These model files can be used to monitor the training progress of your model. Note that the nep.restart file is the file that is required to continue training.

The syntax is:

save_potential <number_of_generations_between_save_potential> <format>

The default number of generations between saved model files is \(N=10^5\) and the output file names use the extended format.
