Yes, you can run mpi on your single PC.  If I remember correctly, lapw1 (and maybe also lapw2) is usually slower than lapw0 , so you will want to run them in parallel.

However, several PC on a GB-network might run calculations faster than your single PC as was mentioned before [ https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg09334.html ].

If you can find a company, university, or research center to collaborate with that has an Infiniband based cluster, that should be even better.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried the conversions between struct and cif files, but the structures remains the same. 336 atomes!

I don't have MPI installed because I never had to use it, will it allow for example to run lapw0 on multiple cores in my single PC ?
