Check/Modify Parameters

Thorn IOStreamedHDF5

Parameters in Cactus can be either fixed or steerable. Steerable parameters are those which can be modified during a simulation. To change steerable parameters, edit the values and press the submit button. Before applying the new parameter value, Cactus will check that the parameter lies in the allowed range. Note that there is currently no log of parameters which have been modified.

The tables below show the parameter name, current value and description. The default value of each parameter is shown in brackets at the end of the description.

Steerable Parameters

The following parameters are steerable, but you do not have authorisation to change them. To change parameters you must first register on the Simulation Control Page.

checkpoint noDo checkpointing with IOStreamedHDF5 (no)
checkpoint_next noCheckpoint at next iteration (no)
checkpoint_port 8001Port to stream out HDF5 checkpoint files (8001)
out_every -1How often to do HDF5 streaming, overrides IO::out_every (-1)
out_vars Variables to stream in HDF5 file format ()

Fixed Parameters

checkpoint_accept_timeout 0 Timeout in seconds for accepting client connections to stream checkpoint files to (0)
