A sample parallel batch job script for CP2K
CP2K batch jobs may be run by creating a batch job control script (for example, called CP2K_job.com) like the following, which will submit the H2O-32 benchmark model to run on two 40-core compute nodes:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -p parallel
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH -C node_type=40core192G
#SBATCH --exclusive
source /etc/profile
module add cp2k/6.1.0
ulimit -s unlimited
mpirun cp2k.popt H2O-64.inp
