G0W0 calculation:G0W0 PPA | | [000%]

Concerns issues with computing quasiparticle corrections to the DFT eigenvalues - i.e., the self-energy within the GW approximation (-g n), or considering the Hartree-Fock exchange only (-x)

G0W0 calculation:G0W0 PPA | | [000%]

Dear all,
When I run G0W0, it worked well, but at the end :
<01m-41s> [X-CG] R(p) Tot o/o(of R) : 1353 3200 100
<01m-41s> Xo@q[68] 1-2 | | [000%] --(E) --(X)
<01m-42s> Xo@q[68] 1-2 |####################| [100%] --(E) --(X)
<01m-42s> X @q[68] 1-2 | | [000%] --(E) --(X)

The G0W0 PPA showed 000%:
<01m-43s> G0W0 PPA | | [000%] --(E) --(X)

I have got o.qp in the directory and db.QP in SAVE directory.
Is it correct?

The input file is:

Dear JIN,

please include your full affiliation in the signature.

The fact that the GW loop did not show any timing is somehow strange. Are you using the latest version of the code ? If I remember correctly at a certain point a bug in the timing of the GW calculation was fixed. You can try to download the latest tarball file or you can also use the SVN repository. Check the instructions in the download page.

Regarding the parameters of your calculation they are clearly not converged. Please run extensive convergence tests.

% BndsRnXp
1 | 10 | # [Xp] Polarization function bands

This is to small. Try increasing it.

Also

NGsBlkXp= 1 RL # [Xp] Response block size

means that the dielectric matrix is assumed to be a scalar function. And this cannot be true.

I used yambo-3.2.4-r.855

Thank you for your suggestion about the parameters.
