DESCRIPTION

This examples demonstrates how to spawn several Slurm jobs within a single PWTK script, where the later jobs depend on the previous ones. To this end, the ::pwtk::afterDone command is used which waits for the specified jobs to be completed before proceeding.

This example splits the calculation of Hubbard U parameters over perturbed atoms and q points; the example is adopted from HP/examples/exemple07 of Quantum ESPRESSO. The system considered is bulk ferromagnetic Ni2MnGa.

BEWARE

This example takes a while to complete.

# Slurm jobs are PWTK child processes, born in the empty state. Hence,
# we need to inform PWTK with ::pwtk::propagate what to propagate to
# child processes. For further info, see the 50-propagate example (or
# the propagate.pwtk file).
