Running a simulation

Launch instruction

Launch a HemeLB simulation with the instruction:


mpirun -n N <hemelb executable address> -in <input file *.xml address> -out <output directory address>

Things to modify to your system:

  • Number of processors - N
  • Address of the HemeLB executable made in the compilation tutorial - hemelb executable address
  • Location of the input.xml file for problem - input file *.xml address
  • Location of desired output directory (need to construct before running) - output directory address

Waiting for completion

Once launched HemeLB will print information to the terminal that looks like:

Running

On a desktop machine this took about 8 mins to complete with N=4.
