+and likewise with ''cp2k.sopt''.
+CP2K MPI/OpenMP parallel runs are launched with ''mpirun'' or ''mpiexec'', e.g.
+<code>
+mpiexec -n 4 -genv OMP_NUM_THREADS=2 cp2k.psmp H2O-32.inp
+</code>
+will use 4 MPI ranks with 2 OpenMP threads each (i.e. it will consume 8 CPU cores) to run the input file ''H2O-32.inp'' which can be found in  the cp2k folder ''benchmarks/QS''.
+The ''cp2k.popt'' binary is only MPI parallel and will run just one thread per MPI rank automatically (like ''cp2k.sopt'') which is usually the most efficient usage of CP2K performance-wise if no memory limitation per MPI rank come into play. Therefore, the following commands
+<code>
+mpiexec -n 4 -genv OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 cp2k.psmp H2O-32.inp
+mpiexec -n 4                         cp2k.popt H2O-32.inp
+</code>
+are basically equivalent.
