### Sample Job Scripts

#### Eagle
#### Eagle and Kestrel

Gaussian may be configured on Eagle to run on one or more physical nodes, with or without shared memory parallelism. Distributed memory, parallel setup is taken care of automatically based on settings in the SLURM script example below.

This script and sample Gaussian input are located at */nopt/nrel/apps/gaussian/examples*. The gaussian module is loaded by the script automatically, so the user does not need to have loaded the module before submitting the job. The g16_eagle python script edits the Default.Route file based on the SLURM environment set when the script is submitted to the queue. The user also must supply the name of the input file (`INPUT_BASENAME`).
