Hi all,
I am new to EPW and I was also there in a recent EPW and BerkeleyGW workshop but I could not get access to HPC entire week so I do not have actual hands on experience on EPW. I am interested in calculating transport properties of HfTe5 and I am following pdf on Monday session.
I have my input file for epw1.in as: ( I am using hash string to separate my comments/question from input output files)

Re: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_DENORMAL
Hi rkarkee,
From your output it seems like the program was stuck at the Wannier90 step, which caused it to never end. The error should be in the wdata lines. I believe it should be "guiding_centres" instead of "guiding_centers". Please double check and see if this is the problem.
As a side note, for error/output related to this wannierization step, you would check the prefix.wout, instead of the epw standard output for details.
Best!
