[Wien] Large cell instgen_lapw : word too long

Thank you very much for your response,

I have tried to reduce size of the supercell and ended with 336 atoms. I
have done what you said and accepted the symmetry proposed by sgroup (it
was 1_P1, I don't know if it is any different from P) now the
initialization phase is done successfully, but it is taking too long.
(Lapw0 : 50 min, 5.5 Gb of RAM, dstart : 40 min)
I have a single PC with Intel Xeon 24 cores with each have frequencies
ranging from 1600 Mhz to 2900 Mhz and 48 Gb of RAM
How can I make the most of it and shorten the calculation time ? especially
since I can only run Lapw0 in one single core.

Faithfully,
