1. Use Gamma point if you can 2. Use band parallelization 3. Use a reduced cutoff for the calculation of the exchange term (ecutfock, can be reduced from its default value 4*ecutwfc with little loss of accuracy) 4. Experiment with smaller systems. Paolo Il 10/ago/2016 09:01 PM, "Narendranath Ghos

Dear Narendra, While a PBE calculation requires a single FFT for the density the PBE0 calculation requires N_bands*N_bands FFTs for the co-density. In your case if nspin=1 you would have about 47000 FFTs for a single EXX evaluation. Despite the number of processors, the number of bands might be the

Dear Narendra, If you do a PBE calculation with norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and PAW pseudopotentials very likely you will get very similar results (but it depends also on the quality of the pseudopotential, the property under consideration, etc.). In the case of PBE0 the type of pseudopotential wil

Dear Narendranath, Your calculation has reached convergence if you read the message "EXX self-consistency reached". You can learn some details about the scf procedure with hybrid functionals in PW/examples/EXX_example. PBE0 and hybrid functional calculations are in general very expensive. I would s
