<div><span class="ppt"></span> </div>
<div><span class="ppt">Thanks a lot for all the expert advice! I tried cpv on my system and it worked fine!</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt"></span> </div>
<div><span class="ppt">Well, I am still curious why pw.x did not work. It would be useful to identify whether</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt">or not it </span><span class="ppt">is due to the system size.</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt"></span> </div>
<div><span class="ppt">A couple of things that I have tested:</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt">1. Using "restart_mode='restart' ", the run stopped at the same point.</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt">2. Using smaller ecutwfc did not h</span><span class="ppt">elp either.</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt">3. Runing the job on an SGI and a PC cluster, no difference found</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt"></span> </div>
<div><span class="ppt">In this case, I am not sure what to try next. The pw.x input file is as follows </span><span class="ppt">(sorry about</span></div>
<div><span class="ppt">its length). </span><span class="ppt">If someone can have a quick test run on it, I would really appreciate it.</span></div>
