Hi,

Can anyone give me an update on which version of Quantum Espresso does the k-points parallelization while doing the dvscf calculation is satisfied (including spin in nscf). Note this is required in el-ph.
I know upto 6.7Max no k-points parallelization on dvscf could be done.

Dear Sitangshu,
Have you tried QE7.2 ?

Best regards.

Dear lyzhao,

No I haven't. But I will now try. But I am not sure if the spin-orbit is also included there.

Thanks, I will write again here, if I get this.

Hi,

I tried with QE 7.2 with npool 2. It generates elph_dir and all the s.dbph files, but fails to generate gkkp matrices when ypp_ph is executed (note force_symmorphic=.true. warning is a bug in this case):
