Contents
The latest stable version of Siesta is 3.1 and users are strongly encouraged to use it.
To load the siesta module, execute:
module load siesta/3.1
You can add this line to your startup script (.bashrc) to avoid executing it every time you log in.
Both serial and mpi compiled executables are available, named siesta-serial and siesta-mpi respectively.
Example of starting an mpi job (after module is loaded):
sqsub -q mpi -r 40m -n 4 -o example.out -i example.fdf siesta-mpi
Example of starting a serial job (after module is loaded):
sqsub -q serial -r 40m -o example.out -i example.fdf siesta-serial
Note: sometimes Siesta crashes when trying to generate xml output. You can disable this output by adding
WriteXML F
to your .fdf input file.
