Description: NCSHMEM determines the number of compute cores sharing the memory in MPI in the non-cubic scaling GW routines.


By default no shared memory MPI is in the non-cubic scaling GW routines (ALGO=EVGW, EVGW0, QPGW and QPGW0). For using shared memory MPI in the non-cubic scaling GW set NCSHMEM=-1.
