[Pw_forum] Bad termination in hybrid functional calculation

[Mehmet Topsakal]

Dear Banerjee,

Have you tried reducing ecutwfc ?
It is too big !!!

If you are interested only in DOS, you can use smaller cutoff even if you
are using NC pseudopotentials.

First set it to 15-20 Ry and try to finish an HSE run. Then you can
increase it gradually.
