Slurm job - exit status zero
Job is a Single point SCF calculation
Does not show any error but does not compute and exits

I am attaching the INCAR, KPOINT, POSCAR, POTCAR, OUTCAR, slurm script submit,sh

I have attached the zip file where INCAR, POSCAR, POTCAR, K-POINTS and slurm batchscript is present. It is working well for simple Si structure.
but this single point calculation stops with slurm output zero meaning successful implementation.
The system contains around 440 atoms. I am looking for finding out the plane wave cutoff and k-point sampling so as to go for structural optimization.

Hello,

have you been patient enough? 400 atoms and 4 cores take a very long time even for finishing set-up. I'd guess several hours at least ...

Thank you sir for the reply...
Made the changes as per your suggestions on no. of cores. Will update if anything such arises....
