Dear ABINIT users!
  I am wondering about number of k-points and number of processors.
  In manuals it says that number of k-point should be relative to number of 
processors. 
  In my calculation I use 6 k-points, so I specify 6 processors but it is not 
enough memory for this job  I am going to run calculation with 10 or 12 
processors, (in my previous calculation when I specified # processors bigger 
than #  k-points I got message that it is wasting of time because # proc not 
equal to # k-points).
  My question is: what does it happen to the other processors if I am running 
job with 6 k-points and 10 or 12 processors? Will I use only 6 processors and 
others will be empty?

  Thank you!
   Yaroslav
