From 6344ae892997d7cc309c838c77bce943bfcde5f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tradke Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 17:04:05 +0000 Subject: Updated documentation for IOFlexIO. The documentation.tex file now also describes the IEEEIO file layout used by IOFlexIO and how to import external data into Cactus. The CreateIOFlexIOdatafile.c example serves as a template C source to build a converter program for IEEEIO files which can be fed back into Cactus. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/arrangements/CactusPUGHIO/IOFlexIO/trunk@179 ebee0441-1374-4afa-a3b5-247f3ba15b9a --- README | 20 +++++--------------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 75e0fde..66aa7bc 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -5,26 +5,16 @@ CVS info : $Header$ 1. 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.
