1 Description

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.

2 Availability

Quantum ESPRESSO is available on selected bwHPC-Clusters. A complete list of versions currently installed on the bwHPC-Clusters can be obtained from the Cluster Information System (CIS).

In order to check which versions of Quantum ESPRESSO are installed on the compute cluster, run the following command:

$ module avail chem/quantum_espresso

3 License

Quantum ESPRESSO is free, open-source software released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Anyone interested in using the Quantum ESPRESSO program suite must read the conditions described in its manifesto.

4 Usage

4.1 Loading the module

You can load the default version of Quantum ESPRESSO with the following command:

$ module load chem/quantum_espresso

The module will try to load all modules it needs to function (e.g., compiler, mpi, ...). If loading the module fails, check if you have already loaded one of those modules, but not in the version required by Quantum ESPRESSO.

If you wish to load another (older) version of Quantum ESPRESSO, you can do so using

$ module load chem/quantum_espresso/<version>

with <version> specifying the desired version.

Please cite Quantum ESPRESSO in your publications according to the references.
