Detailed Description

Simulation is initialized and run from here.

This module acts as an interface through which different types of simulations are initialized and run. This module handles no IO operations (with the exception of writing of progress update), no offloading (only unpacking and initialization is done here).

Thread level parallelisation is done here and the threads have shared access on the data once it has been initialized. However, threads should only modify marker and diagnostic data.

Function Documentation

sim_monitor()

void sim_monitor	(	char *	filename,
		volatile int *	n,
		volatile int *	finished )

Monitor simulation progress.

This function contains a loop that is repeated until all markers have finished simulation. Loops are executed at interval defined by A5_PRINTPROGRESSINTERVAL in ascot5.h.

At each loop, number of markers that have finished simulation is written to output file, along with time spent on simulation and estimated time remaining for the simulation to finish.

Parameters

filename	pointer to file where progress is written. File is opened and closed outside this function
n	pointer to number of total markers in simulation queue
finished	pointer to number of finished markers in simulation queue

Definition at line 334 of file simulate.c.

simulate()

void simulate	(	int	n_particles,
		particle_state *	p,
		sim_data *	sim )

Execute marker simulation.

This simulates markers using given inputs and options. All different types of simulations are initialized and run via this function.

This function proceeds as follows:

1. Input offload data is unpacked and initialized by calling respective init functions.
2. Meta data (e.g. random number generator) is initialized.
3. Markers are put into simulation queue.
4. Threads are spawned. One thread is dedicated for monitoring progress, if monitoring is active.
5. Other threads execute marker simulation using the mode the user has chosen.

• Process continues once all markers have been simulated and each thread has finished. Monitoring is also terminated.

1. (If hybrid mode is active) Markers with hybrid end condition active are placed on a new queue, and they have their end condition deactivated and they are simulated with simulate_fo_fixed.c until they have met some other end condition. Threads are spawned and progress is monitored as previously.
2. Simulation data is deallocated except for data that is mapped back to host.
3. Execution returns to host where this function was called.

Parameters

n_particles	total number of markers to be simulated
p	pointer to array storing all marker states to be simulated
sim_offload	pointer to simulation offload data
offload_data	pointer to the rest of the offload data
offload_array	pointer to input data offload array
int_offload_array	pointer to input data int offload array
diag_offload_array	pointer to diagnostics offload array
