Hello, I'm splitting a phonon calculation with many q-pts into multiple independent calculations using the start_q, last_q options (basically manual image parallelization). Is it necessary that these runs have separate 'outdir'? The wavefunctions from scf occupy a lot of memory and I'd prefer not to copy them separately for each of the phonon calculations. Is it possible to run these different phonon calculations with the same 'outdir'?
I guess the code creates a separate directory $prefix.q_$qpt for each of the q-pts under $outdir/_ph0 directory -- so I believe that shouldn't be an issue. However, the status_run.xml will be simultaneously written by multiple jobs -- that may be a problem I guess? Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks, Sridhar
