[DFTB-Plus-User] DFTB-Plus-User Digest, Vol 44, Issue 3

Sun Apr 15 10:26:24 CEST 2018

Dear Bálint:

Thank you so much for your reply, We have both libraries (intel and open
blas open mp), and could you please let me know how can I link them to run
it on multiple processors. I didn't find any documentation and please let
me know the details.

Thanks
Naga
