Call paramin

Description

Call paramin

Usage

callParamin(
  i = "params.in",
  func = "gadget -s -n",
  opt = "optinfo",
  network = "network",
  o = "params.out",
  scale = NULL,
  condor = NULL,
  paramin.exe = "paramin"
)

Arguments

i	input file
func	function name
opt	location of the optinfofile
network	location of the network file
o	output filename
scale	deprecated
condor	deprecated
paramin.exe	location of the paramin binary

Details

Paramin runs the optimisation routines in parallel across a network of processors which will (hopefully) result in a much faster optimisation run. The current version of paramin is implemented with MPI, Message Passing Interface, which handles all the message passing between the master process, paramin, and the slave processes, which are Gadget simulation runs. The setup is very similar to a normal Gadget run, with all the Gadget input files are the same, it's only the optimisation execution that differs.

Value
