[Pw_forum] Query during Fermi surface calculation

[nirav msc]

Dear QE users and Developers,
I am trying to calculate the fermi surface for my system by following the steps mentioned in example 8. I am using esspresso 5.0.2. 

First I have done scf calculation, then generates the k-points by kvecs_FS.x for preparing input file for nscf calculation and then run the nscf calculation by preparing Sysname.fs_sp.in as below:

mpirun -np 4 pw.x -in sysname.fs_sp.in> sysname.fs_sp.out
run is going to complete after approximately 20-24 hours.
 I am not getting any error but output file sysname.fs_sp.out does not provide band calculation for all the k-points and it stops. it does not provide any band energies and occupation number. last part of the output file is given below.
Starting wfc are   24 randomized atomic wfcs

     total cpu time spent up to now is        7.1 secs

     per-process dynamical memory:    40.0 Mb

     Band Structure Calculation
     Davidson diagonalization with overlap

     Computing kpt #:     1
     total cpu time spent up to now is        8.3 secs

     Computing kpt #:     2
     total cpu time spent up to now is        9.9 secs

     Computing kpt #:     3
