vasp手册上是这么说明ISYM的:
Switch of symmetrisation (ISYM=0). Symmetrisation is done locally on each node requiring three huge arrays. VASP.4.4.2 (and newer versions) have a switch to run a more memory conserving symmetrization. This can be selected by specifying ISYM=2. Results might however differ somewhat from ISYM=1 (usually only 1/100th of an meV).
