"Quantum ESPRESSO has evolved into a distribution of independent and inter-operable codes in the spirit of an open-source project. The Quantum ESPRESSO distribution consists of a “historical” core set of components, and a set of plug-ins that perform more advanced tasks, plus a number of third-party packages designed to be inter-operable with the core components."

The above example requests two whole nodes for a total of 64 processes. | The above example requests two whole nodes for a total of 64 processes. This is certainly more processors than is needed for the silicon tutorial case. Please be aware that suitable selection of a process count is complicated, but it is your responsibility to choose an efficient number. We recommend [http://www.fisica.uniud.it/%7Egiannozz/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_para.pdf this lecture] on parallelism in Quantum ESPRESSO. | ||
