I mentioned in the long term vision that I’d like to get more backends to allow users to do “one click submit.”
The trick, of course, is that running different programs on different clusters usually takes some scripting, e.g.
# copy files around
module load orca/6.1.1
orca caffeine.inp > caffeine.out
# copy files back
Now some local calculations are a bit easier - check for the program name in the PATH / user environment and just run it.
How much should stay in Avogadro? How much should be in a separate program? How much depends on the server?
