Dear all,
I am running electron-phonon coupling as described in Si example. I find if I take the random q ponit a larger number in 02 ph and 04 elph process, the phonon calculation will slowdown because the huge q point. Do we have an idea to accelerate the phonon calculation for this step since we need to test
the number of the random q point we used.

Thanks!

Dear Shudong,

One way to accelerate the electron-phonon calculation is to parallelize in q-points. That is, running an individual job for each q-point (using a bash or python script).

Best regards,

Alejandro.

Dear Alejandro,
I am trying to use image to accelerate the phonon calculation but it faild when I set "fildvscf = 'dvscf'".
If I omit this item, everything is OK. My question is does the fildvscf must be set in the phonon calculation for next Yambo procedure?
Thanks!
