Memory usage
Another issue that can important is the choice CPVector
(say the vector length of you machine) and the number of k-points
processed together during the calculation of the parameters. In the
output you see the used value
========================= = Numerical Integration = =========================
TOTAL NR. OF POINTS 4738 BLOCK LENGTH 256
NR. OF BLOCKS 20
MAX. NR. OF SYMMETRY UNIQUE POINTS PER BLOCK 35
NR. OF K-POINTS PROCESSED TOGETHER IN BASPNT 5
NR. OF SYMMETRY OPERATORS (REAL SPACE) 48
SYMMETRY OPERATORS IN K-SPACE 48
If you want to change the default settings you should specify both
CPVector and KGRPX.
The optimal combination depends on the calculation and on the machine
and bigger is not necessarily better. Example
CPVector 1024 KGRPX 3
