The Schrödinger Suite is a collection of software for chemical and biochemical use. It offers various tools that facilitate the investigation of the structures, reactivity and properties of chemical systems. There is a campus site license for this software, supported by UITS. More information is available here: http://software.uconn.edu/schrodinger/ .

Example Application Usage
qsite
qsite -SAVE -PARALLEL 24 -HOST slurm-parallel-24 3IIS_Per1.in Launching JAGUAR under jobcontrol. Exec: /gpfs/sharedfs1/admin/hpc2.0/apps/schrodinger/2022-4/jaguar-v11.8/bin/Linux-x86_64 JobId: job60-login5-1674022
Note that the numeric value of -PARALLEL should match the numeric value of the -HOST that you specified.
You can then view the status of your running job with sacct.

Installation Oddities
Schrödinger comes pre-packaged with an outdated version of mpi(< 1.8.1), meaning an old bug in the MPI->SLURM interface needs to be manually patched by appending the following line to schrodinger's mpi's default config file:
plm_slurm_args = --cpu_bind=boards
