Global parameters

Global parameters#

This block, called &RUN_PARAMS, contains the run global control parameters. These parameters are now briefly described. More thorough explanations will be given in dedicated sections of the wiki.

Variable name, syntax, default value

Fortran type

Description

cosmo=.false.

logical

Activate cosmological supercomoving cooordinates and computes the expansion factor

pic=.false.

logical

Activate Particle-In-Cell solver

sink=.false.

logical

Activate sink particles

clumpfind=.false.

logical

Activate the clump finder

tracer=.false.

logical

Use Monte Carlo tracer particles

unbind=.false.

logical

Activate the particle unbinding for clumps

make_mergertree=.false.

logical

Make merger trees

poisson=.false.

logical

Activate Poisson solver for self-gravity

hydro=.false.

logical

Activate hydro or MHD solver.

rt=.false.

logical

Activate radiative transfer using CPU-based M1 solver. This solver works on the AMR grid.

aton=.false.

logical

Activate radiative transfer using GPU-based M1 solver. This solver works only on unigrid at levelmin.

verbose=.false.

logical

Activate verbose mode.

cost_weighting=.true.

logical

Load balancing based on computational cost, not memory. This is rather expensive in term of memory usage. For memory limited runs, using cost_weighting=.false. is better.

nrestart=0

integer

Output file number from which the code loads backup data and resumes the simulation, The default value, zero, is for a fresh start from the beginning (time=0).

nrestart_quad=0

integer

Restart with double precision Hilbert keys. Must be equal to nrestart. Default value is 0.

nstepmax=1000000

integer

Maximum number of coarse time step. This can be used to terminate the simulation after a fixed amount of main steps.

ncontrol=1

integer

Frequency of screen output for control lines (to stdout), usually redirected into a log file.

nremap=0

integer

Frequency of call, in units of coarse time steps, for the load balancing routine, for MPI runs only. The default value, zero, means never. Load balancing is a slow operation, so use as high a value as possible.

ordering="hilbert"

character(len=128)

Cell ordering method used in the domain decomposition of the grid, for MPI runs only. Possible values are hilbert, planar and angular.

nsubcycle=2,2,2,2,2,2,

integer array

Number of fine level sub-cycling steps within one coarser level time step. Each value in the array corresponds to a given level of refinement, starting from the coarse grid at levelmin up to the finest level at levelmax. nsubcycle(1)=1 means that levelmin and levelmin+1 are synchronized. To enforce single time stepping across the whole AMR hierarchy, you need to set nsubcycle=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,

static=.false.

logical

Activate full static mode (RT post processing)

static_dm=.false.

logical

Activate static mode for DM particles only (isolated initial conditions relaxation)

static_stars=.false.

logical

Activate static mode for star particles only (isolated initial conditions relaxation)

remap_pscalar=ndim+3,ndim+4,...,nvar

integer array

Mapping for the passive scalars and non-thermal pressures. Value indicates in which variable the scalar from the restart should be loaded. [0 = ignore this scalar in the restart output, -N = do not read but initialise ivar=N to 0, N = read and initialise ivar=N from the restart output]. For example remap_pscalar=-6,0,7,8,9 translates to: do not read first restart var but initialise ivar=6 to 0, skip second restart var, read ivar=[8,9,10] from the restart snapshot and store it in the current ivar=[7,8,9].
