[Pw_forum] installing QE

[Eric Germaneau]

Hey Vicky,

if mpich (for instance) is installed, it will automatically detect it.
Then you will have to do

mpiexec -n 4 path_to_qe_exec < input_file > out_file

in order to use the 4 cores.
Note that this is well documented in the examples.

The other solution is to build QE with  OpenMP, but I have not really tried.
Well, the only one tentative I did was unsuccessful.

Hope it helps,

                              Éric.
