ABINIT
ABINIT is a software suite to calculate the optical, mechanical, vibrational,
and other observable properties of materials. Starting from the quantum equations
of density functional theory, you can build up to advanced applications with
perturbation theories based on DFT, and many-body Green's functions (GW and DMFT) .
ABINIT can calculate molecules, nanostructures and solids with any chemical composition,
and comes with several complete and robust tables of atomic potentials.
On-line tutorials are available for the main features of the code,
and several schools and workshops are organized each year.
Available versions of ABINIT in ULHPC¶
To check available versions of ABINIT at ULHPC type module spider abinit.

Interactive mode¶
To open an ABINIT in the interactive mode, please follow the following steps:
# From your local computer
$ ssh -X iris-cluster
# Reserve the node for interactive computation
$ salloc -p interactive --time=00:30:00 --ntasks 1 -c 4 --x11 # OR si --x11 [...]
# Load the module abinit and needed environment
$ module purge
$ module load swenv/default-env/devel # Eventually (only relevant on 2019a software environment)
$ module load chem/ABINIT/8.10.2-intel-2019a
$ export SRUN_CPUS_PER_TASK=$SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK
$ abinit < example.in
