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.inp
# HF/6-31G(d)
benzene energy
0 1
C 0.0 0.140 0.0
C 0.121 0.070 0.0
C 0.121 -0.070 0.0
C 0.0 -0.140 0.0
C -0.121 -0.070 0.0
C -0.121 0.070 0.0
H 0.0 0.249 0.0
H 0.217 0.125 0.0
H 0.217 -0.125 0.0
H 0.0 -0.249 0.0
H -0.217 -0.125 0.0
H -0.217 0.125 0.0
Step 2
Write a SLURM submission script to run gaussian on the cluster.
Example: example_g09.sh
The SBATCH directives set up the resources for SLURM to allocate. Within the script files are created that gaussian requires, particularly sourcing the g09.profile the module for gaussian is loaded which sets up the enviroment environment for gaussian to function.
