Chemistry and UVA HPC
Overview Many popular software packages for computational chemistry are available on Rivanna and Afton.
General considerations Most computational chemistry packages utilize MPI for parallel execution. Accordingly, the Slurm job scripts should contain the following two SBATCH directives:
#SBATCH -N <M> # request M nodes (replace with a number) #SBATCH –ntasks-per-node=<L> # request L MPI processes per node You should launch your program with srun as the MPI executor, for example for Quantum Espresso
srun pw.x -in mymol.in Please see the page of the particular package you wish to use for more details.

LAMMPS and UVA HPC
Description LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) is a molecular-dynamics code. The code is designed to be easy to modify or extend with new functionality. LAMMPS can run on a single core but is designed to be highly efficient running on a large number of cores in parallel using message-passing techniques and a spatial decomposition of the simulation domain. It solves systems ranging from single atoms through polymers and proteins to rigid collections of particles. A variety of force fields is supported.
Local support is not available. LAMMPS has documentation and tutorials at its Website. It has a large and active community of users; to search or join the mailing list see the instructions here.
