Dear quantum espresso friends,

I’m a bit confused. I want to run a geometry optimisation with pw.x in parallel 
on 4 CPUs.
I want to do k-point parallelization. From 
http://training.uhem.itu.edu.tr/docs/18hazirannano/PW-III-para.pdf:

k-points are distributed among npool pools of CPUs

I started the following:

mpirun -np 4 pw.x -npool 4 -inp input file 

It seems to work, since I got output. But what is confusing me, is that in the 
output is stated:

``Serial version``

``number of k points=     4``

Nothing is noted that the calculations of 4 k-point is distributed among 4 CPUs.

Can someone give me an advice on where to look for confirmation?



Met vriendelijke groeten,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
With kind regards,
