Hi
I have a question to QE developers.
The Material Cloud as well as BURAI gui generate QE files without
information about the cell centering (Bravais lattic).
As the result QE calculates with 2-4x more atoms than neccesary in
the corresponding primitive non-centered unit cell ...
Does it realy work in this way = enormous waste of computational time ?
Or does QE identify internaly the F,I,A,C,B cenration and utilize this information ?
What about k-points ? Are they reduced based on symmetry when no symmery is given in input ?
