[Pw_forum] error in the Raman calculation

Dear Wang, Di:
     In addition to the two important points mentioned by prof. P. Giannozzi (about E_cut and the un-compatiblility between GGA and lraman=.true.), Maybe other things need notion:
(1) You can try to use the R&G division as the parallel scheme and increase the No. of cpus (e.g. 16) in order to decrease the memory in each cpu. Maybe it is caused by using too much memory in each cpu. 
(2) Maybe it is due to the un-stability of the computer, which has some problems these days. And the administrators are testing and checking it now. 

Best Wishes!

Yours Sincerely
L. F. Huang
