Gaussian environment
I use this in my .bashrc:
export GAUSS_EXEDIR=/cluster/bazaar/software/g03
export GAUSS_LFLAGS='-nodelist "b0 b1" -opt "Tsnet.Node.lindarsharg: ssh " -mp 2'
export GAUSS_SCRDIR=/tmp
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/cluster/bazaar/software/g03
export g03root=/cluster/bazaar/software
export PATH=$PATH:/cluster/bazaar/software/g03
Seems to work, although you might want to tweak the node list.
Running Gaussian in parallel
Understand the distinction between nprocs and nprocl. nprocs is for a shared-memory (single-image) machine, whereas nprocl is for a distributed-memory (cluster) system. You want to use nprocl on all our computing systems. For example, if you want to run on eight processes (four nodes), add a line like this
%nprocl=8
to your input file. You should then specify qsub -l nodes=4:ppn=2 script on the command line to submit your PBS script with a requirement of four dual-processor machines.
Once you have the number of CPUs specified in the input file, make sure that your nodelist in GAUSS_LFLAGS is set properly. See Gaussian environment for details.
If you have a bunch of input files you want to modify, use the add_nproc.pl script in /cluster/generic/bin. First cd to the directory with your input files, and then do:
perl /cluster/generic/bin/add_nproc.pl n
where n is the number proecssors you want to run on.
After that, fire it up with $g03root/bsd/g03l.
Sample Gaussian PBS script
This is a sample PBS script for Gaussian:
#!/bin/sh #PBS -N gaussian_test061.com_nodes=2:ppn=2 #PBS -o /cluster/home/skylar/bazaar/gaussian_nodes2/test061.com.out #PBS -e /cluster/home/skylar/bazaar/gaussian_nodes2/test061.com.err #PBS -q batch #PBS -m abe #PBS -l nodes=2:ppn=2
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR /cluster/bazaar/software/g03/bsd/g03l < /cluster/bazaar/software/g03/tests/com_smp4/test061.com > /cluster/home/skylar/bazaar/gaussian_nodes2/test061.com.log
exit $!
