Purpose of the thorn -This thorn does output of 2D and 3D variables in IEEEIO data format. +This thorn does output of arbitrary Cactus variables in IEEEIO file format. It also provides checkpointing/recovery functionality - you can create IEEEIO checkpoint files and recover from them. -The IO methods "IOFlexIO_2D" and "IOFlexIO_3D" are registered -which can be called by other thorns via CCTK_OutputVarAsByMethod() -to output a variable without specifying it in the parameter file. - 2. Additional information -IEEEIO is implemented by John Shalf's FlexIO library - that's why -the name of this thorn. - -If the output files contain so-called "chunked" data (that is, each -processor has written data as a separate field in the output file), -the data may need to be "recombined". A tool to perform this is -provided with this thorn. To build the recombiner: - -> gmake <configuration>-utils UTILS=ieee_recombiner +Please refer to the documentation.tex file in the doc/ subdirectory. -the executable for the recombiner will be located in exe/<configuration> +The IEEEIO file format is implemented by John Shalf's FlexIO library +(hence the name of this thorn). +For more information on FlexIO see http://infinite-entropy.lbl.gov/FlexIO/. |
