Dear David,
after a quick glance there are several problems with your
input/parallelization setup. Regarding the parallelization, you are
using 2 nodes, but only one core per node (effectively running on 2
cores), I would suggest to request the "cpus-per-task equal to the
number of cpu's on one node".
On the input side, your ecutrho/ecutwfc cutoffs are way to small for any
meaningful result, and the scf convergence threshold is way too large
(the default is 10^-6 and yours in 1.0?). In any case, I suggest you
carefully check that you understand the meaning of each input parameter
you specified:

Dear QE users:
I am working with a perovskite and I would like to obtain the
Projected DOS (projwfc) with hybrid pseudopotentials. As far as I
know, first a scf calculation must be done and afterwards the own
projwfc calculation (scf with large number of kpoints, though).
I am still in the scf step because I'm having a lot of problems. Any
simple calculation takes me a lot of time in the best of the cases, or
the calculations directly crashes for paralellization reasons. I have
tried hse and gau-pbe pseudopotentials.
This is part of my .in file:

I would appreciate any help or suggestion. Do I have to try another
easier functional? Any suitable set of kpoints and nqx parameters? Any
other flag that I am missing or using wrongly?
Thank you very much for your help, David.
