These are instructions on how to run some or all of the examples
contained within the "examples" directory of the ESPRESSO distribution
(the one where this file should be). These examples try to exercise
all the programs and features of the ESPRESSO package: for details,
see the "README" file in each example's directory. If you find that
any relevant feature isn't being tested, please contact us (or even
better, write and send us a new example).
To run the examples, you should follow this procedure:
1) Go to the "examples" directory and edit the "environment_variables"
file, setting the following variables as needed:
BIN_DIR = directory where ESPRESSO executables reside
PSEUDO_DIR = directory where pseudopotential files reside
TMP_DIR = directory to be used as temporary storage area
If you have downloaded the full ESPRESSO distribution, you may set
BIN_DIR=$TOPDIR/bin and PSEUDO_DIR=$TOPDIR/pseudo, where $TOPDIR is
the root of the ESPRESSO source tree.
TMP_DIR must be a directory you have read and write access to, with
enough available space to host the temporary files produced by the
example runs, and possibly offering high I/O performance (i.e.,
don't use an NFS-mounted directory).
2) If you want to test the parallel version of ESPRESSO, you will
usually have to specify a driver program (such as "poe" or "mpirun")
and the number of processors. This can be done by editing PARA_PREFIX
and PARA_POSTFIX variables (in the "environment_variables" file).
Parallel executables will be run by a command like this:
$PARA_PREFIX pw.x $PARA_POSTFIX < file.in > file.out
For example, if the command line is like this (as for an IBM SP):
poe pw.x -procs 4 < file.in > file.out
you should set PARA_PREFIX="poe", PARA_POSTFIX="-procs 4".
See section "Running on parallel machines" of the user guide for details.
Furthermore, if your machine does not support interactive use, you
must run the commands specified below through the batch queueing
system installed on that machine. Ask your system administrator
for instructions.
3) To run a single example, go to the corresponding directory (for
instance, "example/example01") and execute:
./run_example
(except for example 21, see below)
This will create a subdirectory "results", containing the input and
output files generated by the calculation.
Some examples take only a few seconds to run, while others may
require several minutes depending on your system.
To run all the examples in one go, execute:
./run_all_examples
from the "examples" directory. On a single-processor machine, this
typically takes one to three hours.
The "make_clean" script cleans the examples tree, by removing all
the "results" subdirectories. However, if additional
subdirectories have been created, they aren't deleted.
4) In each example's directory, the "reference" subdirectory contains
verified output files, that you can check your results against.
The reference results were generated on a Linux PC with Intel compiler.
On different architectures the precise numbers could be slightly
different, in particular if different FFT dimensions are
automatically selected. For this reason, a plain "diff" of your
results against the reference data doesn't work, or at least, it
requires human inspection of the results.
