Dear Kwant Developers,

  Just a brief question:  the memory in kpm conductivity calculation seem to scale as  (system orbitals)*(moments)^2 * vectors .

Pablo Piskunow has explained about moments^2  in the current implementation,  the question is now about vectors.  Can I run many calculations with  num_vectors = 1 and then average the result?

If yes, then I do not understand why the memory in the kwant implementation scales linearly with vectors: it seems that there is only one Trace in the formula, so, equivalent to  averaging over vectors which is a  linear in time operation, but not in memory.

Thank you,

Sergey
