Dear Neelam bravais-lattice index =4 lattice parameter (alat) = 46.2265 a.u. unit-cell volume = 86924.5388 (a.u.)^3 Your hexagonal (ibrav=4) supercell has a=46.2265 a.u. and c=46.9710 a.u., that is, a huge cell volume of 86924.5388

Dear Neelam Other than this, it would be useful if you could also show the in/output files of your system. While it does not seem large the memory usage depends on the atoms/pseudopotentials you are using, size of the vacuum (if any). Best Oleksandr On 06/07/2020 11:52, Michal Krompiec

Dear Neelam, I am by no means an expert, but from my limited experience I can say that 4GB of RAM is not a lot, to put it mildly - but at the same time, your system isn't large. In this case, I wouldn't use any parallelization on k-points (pw.x -npool 1) and make use of symmetry as much as

[QE-users] memory problem with phonon calculations

Dear QE users, I recently performed some phonon calculations with QE6.1 for water adsorption on metal surface. I select only water molecules to be used in the linear response calculation with the keyword nat_todo. For a 6*6 supercell (220 atoms) the phonon calculation can run but for the 8*8
