Actually this is not correct, sorry! One needs to specify at least one V to 
activate the DFT+U+V machinery.

You need to copy all files back to the same temporary folder and run the last 
step with compute_hp=.true. (Please check the exemples in the HP folder of 
Quantum ESPRESSO).

Hi Iurii,

Thanks for the quick resolution!

In regards to the DFT+U+V I was following this line from the paper "for the 
sake of activating the Hubbard-related machinery (in the DFT+U+V case, there is 
no need to initialize V, instead initialize U for O(2p)).” Does this refer to 
something else?

If I output each HP runs to different output directories, how would I recombine 
the results at the end?

Best,
Jamie

Dear Jamie,

First of all, please note that you are not performing the DFT+U+V calculation 
but DFT+U because you specified this:

HUBBARD {ortho-atomic}
U Fe1-3d 1e-10
U Fe2-3d 1e-10
U Mn1-3d 1e-10
U Mn2-3d 1e-10
U O-2p 1e-10

The pw.x code will perform DFT+U+V only if it detects at least one V parameter 
in the input. So you should specify e.g. this:

HUBBARD {ortho-atomic}
U Fe1-3d 1e-10
U Fe2-3d 1e-10
U Mn1-3d 1e-10
U Mn2-3d 1e-10
V Fe1-3d O-2p 1 5 1e-10

I specified some random couple: 1st and 5th atom. The HP code will consider all 
O atoms as Hubbard atoms and will perturb non-equivalent O atoms.

Now, coming to your problem. Your calculations crash because you are using the 
same temporary directory for all calculations: outdir='outdir/'. So independent 
HP calculations write and read to/from the same folder and this creates a mess. 
Instead, for each independent calculation you need to use a separate temporary 
directory, e.g. outdir1, outdir2, etc. So once you performed  the ground-state 
calculation using pw.x, just copy outdir to outdir1, outdir2, ... and run 
independent HP calculations simultaneously:
HP run 1 : perturb_only_atom(5) = .true. -> outdir1
HP run 2 : perturb_only_atom(6) = .true. -> outdir2
...

Thanks! Could you upload please also the input and output files of the pw.x

Hi Iurii,

Thanks for the response. I don’t believe it is a problem with disc space 
because when I run the hp calculations in serial or I run hp.x calculations at 
the same time with different outdir they run successfully.

I have uploaded the hp files to the google drive linked. I attempted to run 
hp_atom5.in and hp_atom6.in at the same time.

Thank you,
Jamie

Dear Jamie,

The problem seems to occur when writing or reading files on a disc. Are you 
sure that you have enough free disc space?

Could you provide please more details about your calculations? Please share 
your input and output files for all pw.x and hp.x calculations that fail (e.g. 
using Google Drive).

Subject: [QE-users] Problem with Parallelization of Hp.x

Hello everyone,

I am trying to replicate the U+V calculations for LiMnFePo4 as described in 
Timrov, Iurii, Nicola Marzari, and Matteo Cococcioni. "HP--A code for the 
calculation of Hubbard parameters using density-functional perturbation 
theory." arXiv  preprint arXiv:2203.15684 
(2022).<https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.15684.pdf> The hp files run fine when I run 
them one at a time. However, when I try to parallelize over different perturbed 
atoms by running them simultaneously as described in section 4.2 I receive 
errors and at least one run fails.  I have tried it on two different computing 
cluster and they both failed, but with different error messages. I’ve included 
the input files/errors below. Does anyone know of a way to solve this issue?

Input file 1:
&inputhp
    prefix = 'olivine', outdir='outdir/',
    nq1 = 1, nq2 = 2, nq3 = 3,
    conv_thr_chi = 1.0d-7,
    niter_max=250,
    dist_thr = 5.D-3
    perturb_only_atom(5) = .true.
/

Input file 2:
&inputhp
    prefix = 'olivine', outdir='outdir/',
    nq1 = 1, nq2 = 2, nq3 = 3,
    conv_thr_chi = 1.0d-7,
    niter_max=250,
    dist_thr = 5.D-3
    perturb_only_atom(6) = .true.
/
