CP2K

CP2K is a software module available on Comet.

CP2K overview

To access CP2K on Comet, run module load CP2K. This will load the default version of CP2K.

An overview of the module information is shown below (module -r spider ^CP2K$):

CP2K: CP2K/2023.1-foss-2023a
    Description:
      CP2K is a freely available (GPL) program, written in Fortran 95, to perform atomistic and molecular simulations of solid state,
      liquid, molecular and biological systems. It provides a general framework for different methods such as e.g. density functional
      theory (DFT) using a mixed Gaussian and plane waves approach (GPW), and classical pair and many-body potentials. 

    This module can be loaded directly: module load CP2K/2023.1-foss-2023a

If there are multiple versions of CP2K listed, then you can load a specific version as follows:

$ module load CP2K/version_string

You can find the most up to date information whilst logged on to Comet by running module -r spider ^CP2K$.
