Hi,

I have been trying to use the restart_freq = .true. option because I always
run out of time on the HPC queue.

I was wondering whether this option can be used multiple times for a single
calculation to finally complete the calculation. For example,
run the job in 4 hour queue, 4 times one after the other to complete
the interpolation.

Thanks and regards,

Nandan.

Hello,

Yes, it is the idea.

For example,



This means that every 500 q-points, a restart point will be written.
If you restart the calculation and keep the restart files, then it will restart from the latest restart point written.

Thanks.

So in case of restarting a job third time,
should the earlier 2:

XXX.sigma_restart1

files be saved?

It seems that even if there is already a XXX.sigma_restart1 file,
it is over written when the jobs is restarted.

Nandan.

Hello,

Yes only the last XXX.sigma_restart1 should be kept.

The file is read and then over-written at the next restart point.
