== Using GPUs == | |||
RI-MP2 ("resolution of the identity") energies and gradients are implemented with GPU support; see Q-Chem manual, sec. 5.5.4. | |||
=== Options === | |||
; CUDA RI-MP2: Enables GPU implementation of RI-MP2 | |||
* TYPE: logical; DEFAULT: FALSE. | |||
* Q-Chem recommendation: Set to 1 to use GPU-enabled MGEMM. | |||
; USECUBLAS THRESH: Sets threshold of matrix size sent to GPU (smaller size not worth sending to GPU). | |||
* TYPE: INTEGER; DEFAULT: 250 | |||
* Q-Chem recommendation: Use the default value. Anything less can seriously hinder the GPU acceleration. | |||
; USE MGEMM: Use the mixed-precision matrix scheme (MGEMM) if you want to make calculations in your card in single-precision (or if you have a single-precision-only GPU), but leave some parts of the RI-MP2 calculation in double precision). | |||
* TYPE: INTEGER; DEFAULT: 0 (MGEMM disabled) | |||
* Carbon recommendation: leave at 0. | |||
; MGEMM THRESH: Sets MGEMM threshold to determine the separation between “large” and “small” matrix elements. A larger threshold value will result in a value closer to the single-precision result. Note that the desired factor should be multiplied by 10000 to ensure an integer value. | |||
* TYPE: INTEGER; DEFAULT: 10000 (corresponds to 1) | |||
* Q-Chem recommendation: For small molecules and basis sets up to triple-ζ, the default value suffices to not deviate too much from the double-precision values. Care should be taken to reduce this number for larger molecules and also larger basis-sets. | |||

Parallel jobs
To run Q-Chem in parallel, load the module in your shell startup, then use the -pbs -np $PBS_NP command line options in the PBS job script, as shown in:
$Q_CHEM_HOME/sample.job
All setup is done by the modulefile - you do not need to source a qcenv script. During the run various temporary files appear in the workding directory. These will normally be cleaned up when the program exits correctly, but some files may need to be removed manually.
