Name

runqumond - Frontend to the QuMond program

Synopsis

runqumond [parameter=value]

Description

QuMond is a cosmology code that allow one to play with MOND type gravity as well as classical Newtonian gravity. The program was developed by G. Angus (20xx, ..., in press??).

This program only assembles the parameter to write the input parameter file, copies your input file to the properly named qmics.dat file, stuffs all of that in a (new) run directory, and runs the program in that directory, for the ease of managing multiple runs of QuMond.

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:
in=
Input snapshot. No default, currently needs to be an ASCII file
outdir=
Run directory. No default.
out=
Output snapshot(s) if to convert back to NEMO? Not implemented.
numbs=
Number of integration steps [8]
aexpn=
Initial scale factor (z=1/aexpn-1) [0.00544081442]
adiv=
Normalisation of time steps [0.002]
om0=
Omega_0 (Omega_0=Omega_cdm+Omega_nu+Omega_baryon) [0.2623]
vsca=
length of box (Mpc/h) [512.0]
hubble=
Hubble param used in cosmics [73.20]
mond=
Desired nu-function (0:no MOND, 1:some weird fcn, 2:simple nu function) [2]
freq=
frequency to output a binary file [8]
brand=
Restarting option (0=new and ascii, 2=old and binary)
au0=
a_0 is empirically ~ 1.2e-8m/s^2. Want to rescale it by a factor s.t. g_0=factor*a_o [1.0]

Benchmark

Run the standard benchmark with the default parameters:
    % time runqumond $NEMODAT/qmics.dat run_bench
    % tail -1 run_bench/gout1001.dat

    % rm -rf run_bench

Files

The actual code has some hard coded file names, hence the concept of running this in a seperate directory, to ease the pain of quickly running simulations in parallel.
QMcode        Name of the executable
qmics.dat    Input datafile QMcode needs (6 floats for p,v per line)
gout1000.dat    Output file Name(s) (1000,1001,1002,....). Same format as input
start.txt    Input Parameter file
