7.4 Distributed Phonon calculations

A complete phonon dispersion calculation can be quite long and expensive, but it can be split into a number of semi-independent calculations, using options start_q, last_q, start_irr, last_irr. An example on how to distribute the calculations and collect the results can be found in examples/GRID_example. Reference:
