The current svn version of cp2k is already prepared for compilation with PLUMED and contains all the relevant interface code. A modified version of PLUMED as well as some test input files can be found at: http://www.cp2k.org/static/downloads/plumed/. The files metadyn.h and metadyn.c are modified from the official plumed-1.3 release in order to provide additional routines called by cp2k, and a plumedpatch_cp2k script is added for easy installation. These files are also provided separately and can simply be copied into an existing plumed distribution.

The following instructions describe how to install/compile PLUMED with cp2k.

get the latest version (newer than Sept. 2014) of cp2k from the svn repository

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/cp2k/code/trunk cp2k-code

unpack the modified plumed-1.3 archive somewhere (the metadyn.c/.h are already updated in that archive)

tar xjfv plumed-1.3.tar.bz2

set the environment variable $plumedir to the root directory of the plumed distribution

export plumedir=/users/xyz/plumed-1.3       

change into the cp2k root directory and symlink the plumed/patches/plumedpatch_cp2k.sh there

cd /users/xyz/cp2k-code/cp2k
ln -s $plumedir/patches/plumedpatch_cp2k.sh ./

run the plumedpatch_cp2k script with parameter -patch, it should create a subdirectory src-plumed containing a number of cpp files and a plumed.inc

./plumedpatch_cp2k.sh -patch

Change into the src-plumed subdirectory; in the file makefile_for_plumed change the parameter OBJDIR to the directory where all the cp2k objects will be built. It should be something like ../obj/Linux-x86-64-gfortran/popt. The directory has to exist, even before building cp2k, so you might have to create it. You may also have to change other makefile settings depending on your local set-up.

cd src-plumed/
make -f makefile_for_cp2k

Make sure the following lines are present in your ARCH file:

PLUMEDDIR     =        $(PWD)/../src-plumed
PLUMEDINC     =        $(PLUMEDDIR)/plumed.inc
include $(PLUMEDINC)
EXTERNAL_OBJECTS=$(OBJ_PLUMED)

-D__PLUMED_CP2K is specified among the DFLAGS and -lstdc++ in the LDFLAGS

Compile cp2k [only cp2k, not the other binaries of the package] as usual on your system

make -j ARCH=Linux-x86-64-gfortran-plumed VERSION=popt cp2k

test (e.g. using the provided testinput) and run

To use plumed, insert the following in the FREE_ENERGY section of a cp2k input file:

&METADYN
     USE_PLUMED .TRUE.
     PLUMED_INPUT_FILE ./filename.inp
&END METADYN
