[Pw_forum] electron phonon coupling of supercells

[luch001]

Dear all,
 
      I encounter difficulty in performing electron-phonon 
coupling (EPC) on a supercell. Take NaCl as a example,
 I construct a 2*2*2 supercell in the unit of the NaCl primitive
 cell, which has 16 atoms. But the supercell has a P1 space 
group. We all kown that the EPC is very time-consuming. Time to 
perform a EPC on such a supercell will be unbearable. What can
 I do to handle such a problem?
  
     My second question is how much the k-mesh should choose
 for such a supercell when do the EPC calculation ? Could someone
 give some empirical advice ? 
     
      Any reply will be appreciated!
