Thank you for your suggestion. I will add recompiling to move to 6.6 to my to do list. For now, I corrected the pseudopotential files as you indicated and the calculation ran successfully. It has become slightly faster, but still much slower than running
on a single node (3:30s vs 0:30s). Is there more that I should be doing to improve performance or is my test problem too small to see the benefits of parallelization?</div>

<div>This is a possible source of trouble if the output directory is not visible to all processors. Please try one of the following:<br>
</div>
<div>- do what it is suggested (or simply: edit Ga.pbe-dn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF, replace all occurrences of "&" with "&")</div>
<div>- get version 6.6, that reads the pseudopotential file on one processor and broadcast its contents to all other processes</div>
<div>- get the development version, that in addition is not sensitive to the presence of nonstandard "&" in the files,
