&lt;br /&gt;
Description: {{TAG| KPOINTS_OPT_NKBATCH}} determines the size of the batch of k-points for the KPOINTS_OPT driver.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the {{FILE|KPOINTS_OPT}} is present an additional non-self-consistent calculation is performed after self-consistency is reached.&lt;br /&gt;
This one-shot calculation is done in batches of N k-points to reduce memory usage.&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing the size of the batch leads to faster calculation times but higher memory usage in the non-self-consistent calculation.&lt;br /&gt;
