As far as I know (may be obsolete info) "npool" was not implemented for electron-phonon calculations.

Bests,
Eyvaz.

Subject: [Pw_forum] PHONON error with elph=.true. and trans=.false.


 
I am trying to calculate the electron-phonon coupling with PHONON 4.2.1.
I modified the program to work with elph=.true. and trans=.false., referring PW_forum. (i.e I fixed the bug that known)
The previous PHONON calculation for mode frequencies were done earlier, but I found the problem.

The input is written below:
---------------------------------------------------

biGr_Ca

&inputph
    amass(1)=40.078
    amass(2)=12.011
    outdir='./'
    iverbosity=0
    prefix='CaGr131scf'
    niter_ph=100
    tr2_ph=1e-12
    fildyn='131.dyn'
    fildrho='rhoresp'
    fildvscf='potvar131'
    trans=.false.
    ldisp=.true.
    elph=.true.
    nq1=6, nq2=6, nq3=1
/
----------------------------------------------------

AND, I've found the problem: The program stops WITHOUT error message, just before the calculation.

Please help me for this unexpected error.

P.S I wonder the trans=.false. calculation with 16 cpus in a pool is compatible with phonon frequency calculation with 64 cpus in 4 pools. The fildvscf is splat in four files......
