Yes I think so. It was a while ago and I remember that it drove me crazy. Pw.x would start normally but it would stop without crashing, like waiting for input. I remember that I fixed it as I have explained. By the way, it also happened to me that the problem would show only if I exceeded

Let me understand: are you saying that there might be a problem with the so-called "here document" syntax: pw.x < EOF long input here EOF if the long input is too long? funny Paolo On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 11:53 AM aritz leonardo liceranzu wrote: > Dear Fanhao > > I have encountered the same

Dear Fanhao I have encountered the same problem and the solution is easy. It doesn't have anything to do with QE. Simply create an independent nscf input file that contains the big list of kpoints. Do not create the nscf input file within the same job submission script using EOF. Then

But when I increase to 12*12*12=1728 k-points, the  program does not really run, there is no output or error. I have increased the nkp in Module/parameter.f90  to 10, You "fix" would not help, and will in fact make things worst. If you exceed nkp the code will stop immediately with an

Hi which version of the code are you using ? In the last version npk is already set to 4. an easy solution could be to split the calculation in 2 or 3 independent calculations in which you compute a part of the k-points. It might be a little be awkward to collect the results afterwards

Dear developers, I am doing a nscf calculation of GaAs with so many k-points. I can run the calculation if the number of k-points is 1000, and it is very fast to finish. But when I increase to 12*12*12=1728 k-points, the program does not really run, there is no output or error. I have
