Dear Fanhao

I have encountered the same problem and the solution is easy. It doesn't have anything to do with QE.

Simply create an independent nscf input file that contains the big list of kpoints. Do not create the nscf input file within the same job submission script using EOF.

Then simply type pw.x < input and it should work.

Quoting Fanhao Jia <[email protected]>:

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
