[Pw_forum] c_bands : eigenvalues not converged

[Elie Moujaes]

Dear All,
 
I am still running a band structure calculation on a 72 Carbon atom system but it is taking a bit too long and till now the results are:
 
negative rho (up, down) = 0.0406, 0
 
Band Structure Calculation:
 
Davidson Diagonalization with overlap
 
c_bands: 1 eigenvalues not converged
c_bands: 2 eigenvalues not converged
c_bands: 1 eigenvalue not converged
 
and is still running for like 6 days. The system is very similar to graphene and its DOS should be similar. I gathered that there might be something wrong with my input..Please can anyone help me on that? The input is:
 
 
control
    prefix='GBdensity',
    calculation='bands',
    restart_mode='from_scratch',
    pseudo_dir = '/exp/home/caiapo/emoujaes/espresso/espresso-4.1.3/pseudo/',
    outdir='/exp/home/caiapo/emoujaes/espresso/espresso-4.1.3/pseudo',
