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

[nicola varini]

Dear Ye, thanks to contribute with your feedback.
1. Yes it could be done. Maybe Filippo has in mind a clear way to do this.
Locally we started to use spack (https://github.com/LLNL/spack) to 
install software on the cluster.
In theory, spack should be able to solve the problem of dependencies 
quite seamless.
2. I developed mainly with Intel, but I'll try GCC a soon as I can.

On the AUSURF112 benchmark my output is:
[nvarini at deneb2 AUSURF112]$ ls -lrtah tempdir/gk.hdf5
-rw-r--r-- 1 nvarini scitas-ge 3.0M 29. Aug 16:19 tempdir/gk.hdf5
[nvarini at deneb2 AUSURF112]$ ls -lrtah tempdir/ausurf.save/
Au.pbe-nd-van.UPF    data-file.xml        K00001/
charge-density.hdf5  gvectors.dat         K00002/

Is the file gk.hdf5 what you are looking for? Is it created in your 
output directory?

Nicola
