Dear Guillaume, 

My guess is that it is not available in the current state of development.

Indeed, for iprcel 35 / 45, an approximate dielectric matrix has to be computed, 

and this computation is likely not parallelized over bands/FFT at present ...

Regards,

Xavier

Dear all,

I was wondering if it is possible to use iprcel 35 or 45 along with the band/FFT parallization. I have some calculations that are very slow to converge when iprcel has the defaut value, but with iprcel 35 the number of SCF steps is much less. This what I observed running abinit with the k-point parallelization, but whenever I try to use iprcel 35 within a band/fft parallelization the code stops without any error message?

I am using abinit-5.3.3 compiled on an altix itanium system. If this is not available in this release, is there any development version I can get?

Regards,
