Dear Iurii,

Thank you for your clear and detailed explanation. I have launched the 
calculations as you suggested and they are running fine.

Best,
Vahid

Dear Vahid,

The HP calculation can be split and parallelized. It depends how you want to do 
this. In example 7 of HP one needs to perturb two atoms, one Mn atom and one Ni 
atom. So we can split the HP calculation into two - in this case, we need to 
have different "outdir" for these two independent calculations, say TMP1 and 
TMP2.  You would need to run the PW calculations once (e.g. using TMP1) and 
then copy temporary files from TMP1 to TMP2. Then you run HP by perturbing Mn 
and using TMP1, and run HP by perturbing Ni and using TMP2. Once the 
calculation is finished successfully, you need to copy the output of TMP2/HP to 
TMP1/HP and then run the final step with  compute_hp = .true. and using TMP1.

On top of that, you can parallelize each calculation over q points using 
start_q, last_q, and sum_pertq. In this case, you would need to further split 
TMP1 into subfolders and TMP2 into subfolders, if you want to run this in 
parallel (if you run it sequentially, then no need to split TMP1 and TMP2 
subfolders).

I hope this clarifies a bit how to do it.

HTH

In case anyone might be trying this, I ended up creating two self-consistent 
folders and ran step1.in in one and step2.in in the other.

Cheers,
Vahid
