[CP2K:3496] Re: CI BAND calculation

Ok : then this explains why you have 30 replicas. 
The goal is to tune number of procs/replica and total number of mpi procs, in order to have a number of replicas = (or smaller, NEVER larger!!!) to the number of images.

In this input in coord section I wrote the initial configuration (the file start.xyz), and in replica section I wrote coordinates of all configurations (initial, final and intermediate). Am I right?
