Thanks a lot for your response Iurii. I have a question about how to use hp.x in parallel. In the article "HP – A Code for the Calculation of Hubbard Parameters Using Density-Functional Perturbation Theory," four levels of parallelization are mentioned.
The first can be done using the command "perturb_only_atom(i)." The second is parallelization over "q" points, the third is parallelization over "k" points, and the last is plane wave parallelization, which I assume is automatically enabled, as in pw.x. However, how can I set the "q" and "k" parallelization for hp.x? I run hp.x with the assumption that the -nq label is necessary if it exists. So I use the command: *mpirun -np 4 hp.x -nq 2 -nk 2 -in name.in <http://name.in> > name.out* Is it ok? Please let me know. I was searching on the internet but I did not find an example of how to run hp.x in parallel using "q" and "k" levels. Best regards.
