Hi

which version of the code are you using ? In the last version npk is already set to 40000.


an easy solution could be to split the calculation in 2 or 3 independent calculations in which you compute a part of the k-points. It might be a little be awkward to collect the results afterwards it depends, what you need them for.

Hope this helps - greetings Pietro

Dear developers,
I am doing a nscf calculation of GaAs with so many k-points.
I can run  the calculation if the number of k-points is 1000, and it is very fast to finish. But when I increase to 12*12*12=1728 k-points, the  program does not really run, there is no output or error. I have increased the nkp in Module/parameter.f90  to 100000,  it doesn't help. Increasing cpus still doesn't help.
I have attached my input. If you have any idea, please let me know.
Best,
Fanhao
