Dear Experts,
Is it mandatory that I should use same number of processor/pool in case of nscf ,phonon and epw calculation.If they are different, will it cause an incorrect result in epw.out.Please let me know.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Anindya,

The phonon calculation can be run with any number of cpus and pools you'd like, EPW will only read the saved files which are invariant.

Dear Carla,
Should I make the nscf and epw in same number processor/pool or I can generate generate nscf data by simply choosing mpirun -np number and for epw mpirun -np number -npool.Is it ok?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Anindya,

You need the same number of processors and pools between the nscf and epw calculation.
