Hi,<br>
<br>
You don't need k-points with a cluster, so that should speed up
things by a factor of 64. If you also use k-points gamma instead of
automatic 1 1 1 0 0 0 you can gain some more as well. If you want
further speed up you can put tqr=.true. under &electrons because
you are using ultrasoft pseudopotentials. If you are able to reduce
the cell size (which you have to check anyway) you can also gain
significant time.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
