Getting Started with Gaussian

Step 1

Write a sample input script for gaussian g09. This file will be used by gaussian to describe the problem.

Example: benz_g09.com

Step 2

Write a SLURM submission script to run gaussian on the cluster.

...

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -J G09
#SBATCH --time=01:00:00
#SBATCH --partition=batch
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=4000
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4
#SBATCH --error=GaussianJob.%J.stderr
#SBATCH --output=GaussianJob.%J.stdout

nodelist > ./machines.LINUX
echo $SLURM_JOB_ID > ./jobid
module load gaussian/g09
source ${g09root}/g09/bsd/g09.profile
export GAUSS_SCRDIR=$TMPDIR
g09 benz_g09.com

Step 3

Submit the submission script to SLURM
