Dear PWSCF developers and users:
I am calculating a graphene supercell with one H atom one it, and I
take 4*4*1 size of supercell now, and there are 33 atoms with 32 C atoms
and 1 H atom. I calculate its phonon dispersions with 13 nodes with 2G
random memory for each node. When frequencies of one phonon mode are
calculated, the program enter into calculation of electron-phonon
interactions. But it has passed nearly 30 hours, and the calculation of
el-ph interaction still not completed! And for graphene unit cell with
2 C atoms, this process just costs about 10 seconds.
I don't know it is normal that the calculation of el-ph interaction
of my graphene supercell costs so much or so much more time? Any one
has the experiences in the el-ph calculation of supercells? Could anyone
tell me how can I do or how much time I would expect to wait?
Thanks very much!
Best Wishes!
Yours Sincerely
L.F.Huang
