[Pw_forum] ph.x: Avoiding the recalculation of the band structure in distributed phonon dispersion jobs

2013-02-11 Thread Karttunen Antti
Dear all, We are using the start_q/last_q and start_irr/last_irr keywords to execute phonon dispersion jobs within a HPC grid service. The scheme works really nicely and we are able to run fairly large phonon dispersion calculations very efficiently. However it would be great to know if we cou

Interesting: good to know that somebody is actually using "grid" parallelization. The problem you mention is known (together with other of similar kind, e.g. the time taken during a restart by the initialization). The solution is however not straightforward: the phonon code is very complex and mus
