SiestaStudio

Run on cluster

Once you have a saved calculation and a connected cluster, you can submit the job directly from the studio. SiestaStudio uploads your input files and pseudopotentials over SFTP and submits using the cluster's scheduler.

Submitting a job

  1. Open the calculation you want to run.
  2. Click Run on cluster.
  3. In the dialog, choose the cluster connection and configure the job:
    • Scheduler (SLURM, PBS, or none).
    • Partition/queue, number of cores, and walltime.
    • Whether to auto-import results when the job finishes.
  4. Click Submit.

A job record is created and appears in the Cluster jobs tab of your project.

What is uploaded

  • The generated .fdf file.
  • All required pseudopotential files (resolved automatically from PseudoDojo or your custom uploads).
  • A scheduler submit script generated for your chosen scheduler type.

Scheduler support

SLURM and PBS/Torque are fully supported. Choose None if you want to upload the files and submit manually.
