Quantum Espresso 7.0

Quantum ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of Open-Source computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling at the nanoscale. It is based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials. ( https://www.quantum-espresso.org/project/manifesto ) .

Quantum Espresso 7.0, https://github.com/QEF/q-e/releases .

To prepare Quantum Espresso (ver. 7.0) software login to tcr.cent.uw.edu.pl.

Then open interactive session on any computing node with :

srun -n16 -N1 -p short --pty bash -l

When interactive session is started go through Quantum Espresso installation process described with bellow commands. It will take about 15 minutes.

#folder for source files
mkdir -p ~/downloads/quantum_espresso_7.0
#folder for compiled binares
mkdir -p ~/soft/qe-7.0

cd ~/downloads/quantum_espresso_7.0
wget https://github.com/QEF/q-e/releases/download/qe-7.0/qe-7.0-ReleasePack.tgz
tar xvzf qe-7.0-ReleasePack.tgz
cd qe-7.0
module load mpi/openmpi-x86_64
module load compilers/gcc-9.3.0

./configure --enable-cuda-env-check --prefix="/home/users/${USER}/soft/qe-7.0"

time make -j${SLURM_NTASKS} all 
make install

remember to end interactive session with exit command.

If no errors occurred, compiled Quantum Espresso binaries are available in /home/users/${USER}/soft/qe-7.0/bin .

Use Quantum Espresso 7.0. This description assumes that path to binaries is /home/users/${USER}/soft/qe-7.0/bin . Use bellow qe-test.sbatch file to run computation.
