Scylla&charybdis.tgz

go back to Main Page, Computational Resources, Scripts, Scripts for VASP

The coupled scripts scylla.sh and charybdis.sh are used to run iteratively molecular dynamics simulations.

Launching: charybdis.sh name nproc final_time (check the running steps for more details)

Output file: directories with prefix prfx

INSTALLATION STEPS

First of all, download the package of scripts:

      File:Scripts.tgz

Place it in the directory of Mare Nostrum ~/bin. If this directory does not exist, create it.

1) If YOU DO NOT HAVE a directory called ~/bin/scripts, put scripts.tgz inside ~/bin and uncompress it with the command: tar -xvzf scripts.tgz and remove scripts.tgz.

2) If YOU HAVE already a directory called ~/bin/scripts, create a new directory exp, put scripts.tgz inside ~/bin/exp and uncompress it with the command: tar -xvzf scripts.tgz and remove scripts.tgz. Now move the files adjust.sh, charybdis.sh, copy.sh and scylla.sh in the directory ~/bin/scripts; remove ~/bin/exp.

Plese, check that all the scripts adjust.sh, charybdis.sh, copy.sh and scylla.sh are executables (they should appear green on your screen). If not, run the command chmod u+x on each of them.

The installation is ready.

SETUP STEPS

Before running a calculation with scylla and charybdis, a special care is needed in the preparation of the input DIRECTORIES.

1) Be sure to be on mn1/mn2 or whatever in marenostrum.

2) In your home directory (~), create all the set of directory where you want to store your results. For example, create the directory ~/Work/h2o_on_Pt/Gamma_point/Ecut=500/Tr1.
