+In this second part of the exercise, the same kind of dynamics will be performed with **cp2k**. You will find in the repository (zip file) the input file **md.inp**, where the **&MOTION** section is different from the last lecture exercise.

+- Run the code
+<code>
+> cp2k.popt -i md.inp > md.out
+</code>
+Compare the performance with the one of the python code. What do you notice?
+Plot the energy by using the file **MD-1.ener** and **gnuplot**
+- What is the value of the total energy? Is it conserved?
+- Increase the time step to 3 fs, and run it again. What happens to the total energy?
