Philippe, just a comment : this is not required that nband is a multiple 
of the number of cores.
The parallelization is indeed performed on empty states (thanks to 
Matteo Giantomassi's work).
To achieve optimal distribution, the number of _empty_ states is advised 
be a multiple of cores.
Any other value would be accepted by the code and would result in a 
very, very small waste of CPU time.

See you soon.
