[Wien] control of k points distribution

[jadhikari@clarku.edu]

Dear Wien users,

I have a question concerning k point distribution.
24 IBZ points are evenly distributed to 3 nodes and 6 processers with each
processor getting 4 IBZ points as shown below. (1 node has 2 processers)

But this is not the situation always. Sometimes the no of k points that
one processor get is more than that of others. And the system always
crashes if this happens.

Is there a way to control this inhomogeneity? All the processers are of
equal speed. The .machines file is shown at the end.

Thank you.

Subin
