Running Gaussian on Ferlin

 At PDC we do not have a license for Linda paralellisation of Gaussian, so only single node jobs can be run. Intra-node parallelism is done using OpenMP and by default is over all 8 cores on a Ferlin node. The number of cores that are used by Gaussian can be changed using the %NProcShared Link 0 command.

 

To submit a gaussian job on Ferlin you can use the following commands.

module add gaussian/g09.A02 easy
