[QE-users] Pw.x doesn't progress in supercell calculation

Dear all,

I'm trying 4x4x1 supercell slab calculation using attached inputfile.
Pw.x doesn't make errors but output file doesn't progerss.
I think this is caused by some basic issues...(nat, or k-point setting in supercell ?) but I didn't find answer.
I tried to reduce the number of atoms, but it didn't work.

I would appreciate if you reply.
