Please print X@q progress more often

Post by leoteo » Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:09 am

Dear developers,

I find the progress indications in the l_ file of yambo tremendously helpful - it really makes planning wall times very easy.
I only have one small suggestion for improvement: Please print the progress of the chi-calculation (denoted as X@q in the l_ file) more often.
For large systems, the calculation of chi can dominate the overall runtime, but at the moment I only get notified at 50% and 100%

Below is an excerpt of a sample l_ file

Code: Select all
