Documentation on the parallelization of BSE ?

Hello,

This may be a dumb question, but I don't seem to find any documentation about the parallel variables for BSE. Moreover, when I type something like
¨yambo -o b -k sex -y d -V par¨, I don't get any parallel variables in the generated input file.
I know they exist from this external page : http://www.attaccalite.com/yambo-input- ... explained/
But this may be outdated, or not supported, so I'm not sure if I should try.

My calculations usually need a lot of optimisation. These variables, if they still work properly, and some reference on how to use them, would be highly useful for me.

Thanks in advance

Dear Thierry,
The name of the variable is the same you have found in the page of Claudio Attaccalite.
I do not know why the -V par is not working, we will check it.
If you have a k point sampling the suggestion is to parallelize over "k" as it is the most effective, then "t' as "eh" it is not efficient.
If you have an isolated system, gamma only, then "eh" parallelism is suggested then "t".
Best,
Daniele
