 +On the Ghent University clusters, it is advisable to wrap this command in
 +a job-script and use the ''mympirun'' tool (instead of regular ''mpirun'').
 +A minimal job-script file named e.g. ''RunCP2K.sh'' contains the following:
 +<code>
 +#!/bin/bash
 +#
 +#PBS -N static_calculation
 +#PBS -l walltime=00:10:00
 +#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=2
 +#
  
 +ulimit -s unlimited
 +module load vsc-mympirun
 +module load CP2K
 +
 +cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
 +mympirun cp2k.popt -i Si_bulk8.inp -o Si_bulk8.out
 +</code>
 +It requests 10 minutes of compute time on 2 computing cores of 1 worker node (adjust accordingly).
 +
 +This job-script can then be submitted to the clusters via the command:
 +<code>
 +qsub RunCP2K.sh
 +</code>
