Dear PWSCF users,
I am using a Linux clusters, with ifort and mkl libraries.
I am running a calculation of LaMnO3 with 20 atoms. Following the the part
of the output which i am getting on running scf calculations. The strange
thing is, although it shows approximately 26 secs for each iterations, but
almost after 4 hrs it able to complete only 4 scf only.
* total cpu time spent up to now is 8.15 secs
per-process dynamical memory: 20.0 Mb
Self-consistent Calculation
iteration # 1 ecut= 25.00 Ry beta=0.50
Davidson diagonalization with overlap
ethr = 1.00E-02, avg # of iterations = 2.0
total cpu time spent up to now is 26.64 secs
total energy = -1612.92488505 Ry
Harris-Foulkes estimate = -1599.80692247 Ry
estimated scf accuracy < 15.29925563 Ry
total magnetization = 0.00 Bohr mag/cell
absolute magnetization = 19.65 Bohr mag/cell
iteration # 2 ecut= 25.00 Ry beta=0.50

I compiled the espresso in parallel without any error. I am running this
calculations on 16 processors, and in 4 hrs it completes only 4 scf cycles.
with the mail i am sending you the make.sys file and the input file.
Can anybody tell me why the calculations taking so much time? Is there any
other flags i have to use in make.sys file to speed up the
calculations*? *Kindly
tell me if you need any other information about the machines
