Matthias Krack 4180bf53f7 Add timeout flag and allow for flags using make_pretty.sh
Using "make_pretty.sh -j 1 -t 2" is often more likely to work than increasing the (hardwired) timeout value

CP2K

Release Status Debian Status Fedora Status Ubuntu Status Homebrew Status Docker Status Spack Status Conda Status

CP2K is a quantum chemistry and solid state physics software package that can perform atomistic simulations of solid state, liquid, molecular, periodic, material, crystal, and biological systems. CP2K provides a general framework for different modeling methods such as DFT using the mixed Gaussian and plane waves approaches GPW and GAPW. Supported theory levels include DFT, MP2, RPA, GW, tight-binding (xTB, DFTB), semi-empirical methods (AM1, PM3, PM6, RM1, MNDO, ...), and classical force fields (AMBER, CHARMM, ...). CP2K can do simulations of molecular dynamics, metadynamics, Monte Carlo, Ehrenfest dynamics, vibrational analysis, core level spectroscopy, energy minimization, and transition state optimization using NEB or dimer method.

CP2K is written in Fortran 2008 and can be run efficiently in parallel using a combination of multi-threading, MPI, and GPU acceleration (CUDA for NVIDIA GPUs, HIP/ROCm for AMD GPUs, and OpenCL).

Downloading CP2K source code

To clone the current master (development version):

git clone https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k.git cp2k

To clone a release version vx.y:

git clone -b support/vx.y --recursive https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k.git cp2k

For more information on downloading CP2K, see Downloading CP2K. For help on git, see Git Tips & Tricks.

Install CP2K

The easiest way to build CP2K with all of its dependencies is as a Docker container.

For building CP2K from scratch, including GPU acceleration for NVIDIA (CUDA), AMD (HIP/ROCm), or OpenCL devices, see the installation instructions.
