DEAR SIRS,


THOUGH THE MACHINE IS CLUSTER, NOW
I AM RUNNING ph.x ON SINGLE CPU ONLY!
WITH THE SAME KIND OF EXECUTABLE pw.x
THE SCF CYCLE IS DONE NICELY... SO, THE
PROBLEM IS NOT PERHAPS DUE TO PARALLEL
EXECUTABLE OR SO....

ALSO, MY RELAXATION(SCF) RUN USES ULTRA
SOFT PSP AND THAT IS WHY I USE
ecutrho=6* ecutwfc.

PLEASE HELP ME TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

                                 REGARDS.

HERE IS THE INPUT FILE FOR MY SCF RUN:
