<div dir="ltr">Hi Suresh<div><br></div><div>I'm new to Quantum_Espresso, but how many processes you specify when running the command (the "-procs" option with "poe", the "-n or -np" with "mpirun/mpiexec")? How many cores does your cluster support? Because I don't think the "-ni and -nk" options will distribute the processes by themselves.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 11, 2015 at 1:01 PM, Suresh A <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:suresh2007pgp19@gmail.com" target="_blank">suresh2007pgp19@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Respected Sir/Friends,<br></div> I have formed a PC beowulf cluster (X86_64 old PC's made on 2007) and installed quantum espresso-5.2.0 in it.

The following is my observation in single core i5 processor and in beowulf cluster for the titanium dioxide supercell of size 2x2x1.
