Hi,

Regarding your first question, the tutorials are probably old and so they don't utilize the more new-fangled "kgb" parallelization. Regarding your second question... you need the ONLY k-point parallelization because after your paral_kgb=1 calculation crashes you can switch to parallelization over ONLY k-points. Cheers,

Adam

Hi all,

I am absolutely new to abinit and my apologies if my questions are trivial.
I was looking at the parallelization examples tparal_1.in tparal_2.in and
tparal_3.in and was expecting to see parallelization variables like  paral_kgb,
npfft, npband, npkpt, fft_opt_lob and others. I did not see any and still
parallelization is activated.
Could anyone please tell me what am I missing here?
The other question is since paral_kgb = 1 activates parallelization over bands,
FFTs, and k-point/spin what do I need to do for ONLY k-point parallelization
for non-spin calculation.
Thanks
