Hi, Giovanni


I used command:  pw.x <top.nscf.inp> top.nscf.out&

 
The partial outcome of the out file is shown below,


...

        k(    1) = (         NaN         NaN         NaN), wk =   0.5000000
        k(    2) = (         NaN         NaN         NaN), wk =   0.5000000

When I used command: mpirun -np 2 pw.x <top.nscf.inp> top.nscf.out&


The terminal gave me the error below

May I see the command and/or the submission script you use to launch pw.x? Also, please provide the full pw.x output header (printed before the error message), if any.Giovanni

The error below remains even if I used only one cpu. Any idea?
