[Pw_forum] scf error with HSE

[Hongsheng Liu]

Dear all,
I'm trying to do a HSE scf calculation for graphene nanoribbon with PWSCF
v6.1. I can succeed with 64 K points along the periodic direction. But when
I increase the K points to 96, the job failed with an error as below,
'forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
Image              PC                Routine            Line        Source
pw.x               0000000000DA3601  Unknown               Unknown  Unknown
.........'
  And I am sure that the memory is enough. My input is as below,
  &control
    calculation = 'scf'

I appreciate any help!
