[Pw_forum] Fw: Query during Fermi surface calculation

[nirav msc]

Dear Giovanni,
I am running my calculation using i3 processor in Ubuntu 14.04.
Thanks for your reply

If your output file(s) do not show any error message, it looks like an error (to much memory used? wall clock limit exceeded in the case you use a queuing program? …) coming from the operating system, not from QE.

Usually, when you just find the output cut at some point with no apparent reason, it is not du to QE failure. Difficult to say more without further information. 

On which computer are you doing the calculation?

Giovanni
