[Pw_forum] Many calculations with the same temporary directory

[Francesco Pelizza]

Hi Dear,

I have a silly question that I would really like to be sure about. sorry 
for that!

Doing several dependent or NOT dependent to each otehr calculations, 
such as for example many: vc-relax, relax or scf, and running them with 
the same temporary directory without clearing the temporary folder at 
each calculation end:

Can make problems and contaminate results of different calculations?

I made many tests, it never seemed to me simulations contaminates each 
others, since everyone creates their own temporary files, but I ask you 
that anyway to be extra sure that there are no cases where independent 
or dependent calculations can cross contaminate their results if sharing 
the same temporary folder.

Keeping the same temporary folder for many calculations makes any real 
problem to results?

Thank you very much in advance
