Tutorial : Minimising the number of output files

The number of files generated by kART can be large, especially if you want to check what is happening.

It is preferable when setting up the simulation parameters to use the most verbose options. However, as the simulation si under controle, it is possible to reduce both the numbe and size of the generated files.

setenv PRINT_DETAILS          .false.  # Prints the details of activation and minimization steps in sortieproc (def: false)
setenv MINSAD_DETAILS         .false.  # Prints the details of activation and minimization (def: false)

setenv USE_TXT_EVENTFILE      .false.  # If true, writes each generic event in a different file (def: false)
setenv OUTPUT_SPECIFIC        .false.  # If true, writes each specific configuration in a different file (def: false)
setenv OUTPUT_CONFIG_EVENTS   .true.   # If true, creates an event catalog (all events available at each step - def: true)
setenv SPLIT_EVENT_FILE       .false.  # If true, puts the event catalog in separate files for each event (def: true)

setenv OUTPUT_NEB_GEN_EVENT   .false.  # Can be useful
setenv SAVE_FULL_EVENTS       .false.  # save full events during catalog and after one file per node

To save a bit more, it is also possible to omit the saddle point configurations setenv ALLCONF_WITH_SADDLE .false. # If true, write full configuration events including init-saddle-conf. (def: true)
