ELASTO

Large scale parallelized 3d mesoscopic simulations of the mechanical response to shear in disordered media

Todo

• Luca: put a tree representation of the folders
• Kirsten: make physical introduction of the model (Ref to papers, etc etc)

Building

Required libraries:

	- FFTW: fftw-3.3.8.tar.gz
	- HDF5: hdf5-1.8.16.tar
	- ZLIB: zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz

We define the following variables:

	- ROOT=<where you have ELASTO folder>

The parallel version of ELASTO can be compiled both on INTEL or GNU compiler. The env_script folder contains couple of script:

- elasto_intel.sh
- elasto_gnu.sh

both prepare the proper compiling ELASTO enviromnent if we wish to use respectively the intel or gnu compiler.

INTEL:

source $ROOT/env_script/elasto_intel.sh
cd $ROOT/builddir
make 

The executable filename elasto.exe is finally created in the $ROOT/builddir folder ready to be run.

How to create Tags

It is possible to create the tags to browse the ELASTO code more efficiently.

Required:

	ctags

Vi/Vim:

	cd $ROOT
	ctags -R .

then a file called tags should appear in $ROOT folder. Once you open Vi/Vim set the tag as follow:

	:set tags=tags

press enter and hereafter when you move your cursor on a function you can jump directly to its definition typing:

	Ctrl+]

and jumping back:

	Ctrl+t
