No, this is not possible (if the vectors are so big that you cannot store them on disk, you cannot store them in memory either). You can use $SCRATCH (a temporary filesystem if this is available on your machine). And you can reduce Emax (last line in case.in1), so that less eigenvalues are sto

Dear all, We are doing quite big SCF calculations that involve the storage of large files that contain eigenvectors. But we only need the electronic bands. We would like to know if the eigenvector files are used from one scf step to the next or if the vectors are stored in memory. If they are st
