Name

grape4 - sample operations on GRAPE4

Description

Currently only a reminder to some operational details for the GRAPE4 in Drexel.

Examples

Demo versions harp3 and harp3X expect input files in ascii "205" (see stoa(1NEMO) ) format or create initial data on the fly. The output (also optional) format however is in binary "205" format (see also atos(1NEMO) , with the binary=true option), and this needs to be converted on the host to tag the proper endianism in snapshot(5NEMO) files.

The direct4(1NEMO) demo program is a condensed version of the harp3 demo, but expects standard NEMO datafiles.

Harp3

Here is a parameter input file for harp3, to be run as follows: 
    % harp3 < run1.par
    % atos run1.out - binary=t options=mass,phase,phi |\
        snapxyz - - | xyzview - scale=4 maxframe=200

where run1.par looks as follows: (did somebody mix up dtout and dtsnapout?) 

16384 0.03125 25 1 0.03125  0.25 8
run1.out
1 0.2
0
0.8
2         <-- never used?

Nemo

The following NEMO chain of commands should be the same as the harp3 demo just shown: 
mkhomsph - 16384 rmax=1 vmax=0.2 |\
    snapspin - - omega=-0.8 |\
    direct4 - . dt=0.03125 tstop=25 dtlog=0.03125 dtout=1 eps=0.25
