Description

The Extensible Simulation Package for RESearch on SOft matter (Espresso) is a versatile software package for the scientific Molecular Dynmaics simulations and analysis of coarse-grained atomistic or bead-spring models as they are used in soft matter research, with emphasis on charged systems. Further information on the Espresso software package may be found at the Espresso Wiki.

Use

To use Espresso, first install the espresso module with module load espresso. Espresso uses TCL to parse inputs, so certain files must be available at runtime. By following the directions given at module load, you can copy those files to your /lustre/scratch directory so that Espresso can read them. The environment variables must be set at runtime, so they should be set in the batch script, or the batch script should import them with #PBS -V. The module should add the Espresso binary to your path, it is called Espresso_bin.

If you have this module loaded in your .bashrc file, stderr should be piped to /dev/null to prevent certain errors.

module show espresso
module load espresso
mkdir /lustre/scratch/$USER/espresso_example
cp -r $ESPRESSO_REQS /lustre/scratch/$USER/espresso_example
export ESPRESSO_SCRIPTS=/lustre/scratch/$USER/espresso_example/scripts
export TCL_LIBRARY=/lustre/scratch/$USER/espresso_example/library
