Hi,
I am doing an optimization including an external electric field using the
SVN pwscf.
I am getting the following error after the first iteration of the second
scf geometry:
     extrapolated charge  192.39606, renormalised to  189.00000
 Atomic wfc used for LDA+U Projector are NOT orthogonalized
     total cpu time spent up to now is    22601.5 secs
     per-process dynamical memory:   718.8 Mb
     Self-consistent Calculation
     iteration #  1     ecut=   100.00 Ry     beta=0.30

My job script:
mpirun -np 64 /u/home/jnossa/PRO/svnespresso-5.1/bin/pw.x <pw.opt.in>
printopt


I reduced the kpoits grid to 2x2x2 but got the same error.
how can I solve this problem?

Thanks.
