I do not know what happened with my reply, but here it is again;

Yes, you are right; if after symmetry you have N k-points, lets say for example 53 k-points, and you use 5 cores, then the machine will run 10 k-points in each core and after this it will 1 k-point in 3 cores.
But as Laurence Marks says; you can edit the .machine* files and add the extra k-points in 3 of the .machine* files, and delete the extra .machine* files... (I have not tried this last possibility)

Hi, I have a question. I do my calculations on supercomputer. It is located on one node 12 cores (processors).
If the number of k-points higher than the number of processors, as happens parallelization
The first stage of parallelization goes on to-point to different processors.
The second stage goes parallelization rate of 1 k-points on multiple processors.
Do I understand correctly or not.
