Quantum-espresso has been using MPI long before openmp,  as a result the MPI parallelism is more developped and more stable. I think you can stick to just MPI with good result, even on a single workstation.

Dear Prof Paulatto ,

Than you for your response. I need to use qe for openmpi as well openmp but on separate workstations. I think openmp works better on multi-cpu pc and openmpi on multi node clusters. I am right?

Thank you.

    openmpi is NOT OpenMP, the former is an open-source implementation of
    MPI, the later is shared-memory vectorization based on compile-time
    instructions. The first is required to run in parallel, you need both
    for huge number of CPUs.

    What do you need exactly ?
