Hi,
I was running hybrid functional band structure calculations (using the KPOINTS_OPT method) when I discovered that despite what the wiki is saying, the parameter KPOINTS_OPT_NKBATCH is not read by VASP.
Despite the line "kpoints_opt_nkbatch = 72", the calculation is still done in batches of 12 kpoints.
You will find attached my files.
Best regards,
JF

Re: KPOINTS_OPT_NKBATCH not taken into account
I checked the VASP version and the "kpoints_opt_nkbatch" INCAR tag is only available from VASP.6.3.1. or higher. In the calculation you sent me you used VASP.6.3.0. So to use this tag please upgrade to a higher version.
