[Pw_forum] Availability beta version of Quantum ESPRESSO v6.0

[Ye Luo]

Hi Filippo,

I just noticed that src/ELPA is added in my building command line even
though it is not included in the make.inc and I'm not using ELPA. The
compiler complains about the non-existing path.

I have tried the experimental HDF5 support in QE 6.0. It is great to have
hdf5 support.
1, Some check could be added in the configure. Due to the mod file
incompatible between compilers. I noticed most machines have installed hdf5
library build with GNU. When I build QE Intel compilers, the compiler
complains.
2, I tried to build QE with GNU 4.8.4. I need to uncomment "USE, intrinsic
:: ISO_C_binding" first but then the compiler still complains about C_LOC.
Unsolved.
3, I also tried it with GNU 5.4 and hdf5 1.8.16. The two mpio routines
can't be found in the library at the linking. Adding "USE h5fdmpio" in
hdf_qe.90 solves the issue. Maybe there is an interface change in more
recent hdf5.
I finally got the hdf5 working well in my test runs. Viva!
I have CCd Nicola who develops the hdf5 support, he can probably
investigate the issues and also answer the following question.
I read the content of the h5 files. The wave function part, it has been
well organized in kpoints and bands. however in the charge density h5, its
gvectors are still in a .dat file and the content of the h5 seems not human
readable. Do you have plans to improve them?

Thanks to every one. It's great to have a major release of QE.

Best regards,
Ye
