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.inp

 

# HF/6-31G(d)

benzene energy

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.

...

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -p mpi
#SBATCH -n 2
#SBATCH --qos=normal
#SBATCH --account=normal
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-core=1
#SBATCH -J GAUS
#SBATCH -o runout.%j
#SBATCH -e runerr.%j
#SBATCH -t 7-00:00:00

module load gaussian/g09
g09 < benz_g09_.inp > benz_g09_.out


Step 3

Submit the submission script to SLURM
