[QE-users] Error in routine card_atomic_positions (2): ATOMIC_SPECIES must be present before

[Diship Srivastava]

While using pw.x to do scf calculations on a graphene sheet on gpu
version of qe I encountered following error.
Error in routine card_atomic_positions (2):
 ATOMIC_SPECIES must be present before

Any suggestions?
