1) Loading module:

module use /home/units/Fak_II/chemie/modules
module add quantenchemie/cfour/1.2

2) Running:

• Input preparation:
  1. Change to working directory, type

     ln -s $CFOUR_ROOT/basis/GENBAS

  2. Rename the input file to ZMAT
  3. Beware: Strictly avoid underscores within path names (CFOUR does not handle them correctly and crashes)!

• Execute in serial mode:

  env cfour_mpirun_opts="-n 1" srun --hint=nomultithread -n1 -E xcfour

• Execute in parallel mode:

   srun --hint=nomultithread -n1 -E

  (OpenMPI extracts all necessary run-time parameters from SLURM)

• Execute in parallel mode without SLURM (only local test jobs):

  export cfour_mpirun_opts="-n <no_procs>" && xcfour

• Please refer to: Batch jobs with CFOUR
