If it fits into a single GPU, run it with a single MPI process. In
parallel it is sometimes hard to figure out what fails how and why

Thanks, Stefano. Yes, the results are reproducible and consistent.
Strangely, everything runs as expected when kresolveddos is set to false
in {prefix}.projwfc.in <http://projwfc.in>. (Though that'd also defeat
the very purpose of doing these calculations).
&PROJWFC
kresolveddos = .false.
...

I should also note that there's no difference whether the calculation
preceding the "projwfc.x" step is a 'bands' or 'nscf' calculation.
I've even recompiled QE-7.2 (as per Vahid's suggestion, just in case)
but the same error persists. I'm starting to run out of ideas.

and the sum of the pdos for each atomic wfc projection should sum to
(at most) 1
It seams that you are missing a lot of wfc weight (as you said in
your original message). Something wrong in the generation of the
atomic projectors maybe ...
Are your results reproducible ?

The sum of the projected |psi|^2 equals 556.315, well below
the 1800.00 electrons distributed along 1080 Kohn-Sham states from
the 'sfc' calculation (number of electrons = 1800.00, number of

*Subject:* [QE-users] [QE-GPU] pDOS abruptly ends before Fermi
Energy
Dear QE users,
I'm working to get bands containing information on atomic
projections ("fat bands"). I am able to obtain a reasonable
band structure (Fermi energy = 6.9736 eV) and total
DOS. However, when projecting the results of the 'scf' and
'bands' calculations using projwfc.x, the .pdos files abruptly
end way before the Fermi energy is reached. Snippet of the
projwfc output, where |psi|^2 drops to zero:
...
==== e( 557) = 2.90731 eV ====
psi =

+0.010*[#1224]+...+0.001*[# 797]
|psi|^2 = 0.991
==== e( 558) = 2.91135 eV ====
psi =
0.011*[#1156]+0.011*[#1160]+0.011*[#1164]+0.011*[#1168]+0.009*[# 514]

|psi|^2 = 0.000
==== e( 562) = 2.93008 eV ====
...
As such, the outputs of {prefix}.pdos_atm#{(Cl)_wfc#1(s) also
abruptly end around 2.9 eV, way before the Fermi energy is
reached. Strangely, {prefix}.pdos_tot does contain DOS
reaching to the Fermi energy:
