Dear Prof. Gianozzi,

Thank you for your suggestion. Well, actually I am interested only (or at 
least) in the IR spectrum. I would like to use USPP so I would like to avoid 
the gamma trick. I know it's a quite big system, however, I found no problems 
with the system size when using CASTEP in this purpose. Thus, I thought that QE 
might also handle it. I have more serious computation resources for QE that for 
CASTEP. QE solve SCF step for this system in ~20 seconds. 

I solve the wrong irreducible representations number by turning off the 
symmetry. However it didn't solve the whole problem. The ph.x still idles.

With best wishes,
Casper
