  • Generates a Fortran/CPP wrapper, which intermediates between Kepler actor and user code in terms of:
    • reading/writing of in/out physical data (IDS)
    • passing arguments of standard types to/from the actor
  • Creates a Kepler actor that:
    • calls a user code
    • provides error handling
    • calls debugger (if run in "debug" mode)
    • calls batch submission commands for MPI based actors

Warning

If you open an existing project, all relative paths defined within project will be relative to a directory within which FC2K was started

Image Added

Fig. 4. "Arguments" tab
  • Type - Defines a type of an argument. It is possible to choose either IDS based type (e.g. equilibrium, topinfo, etc.) or primitive type (e.g. int, long, double, char)
  • Single slice - Determines if IDS is passed as single slice or an array. (This setting is valid for IDS types only )
    • if turned ON - Only one slice is passed. An actor will get an additional port to define a time.
    • if turned OFF - All IDSes for given shot run is passed.
  • Is array - Determines if a primitive type  is passed as a scalar or an array
    • if turned ON - An argument is passed as an array. It requires definition of array size (dynamic array are not supported) 
    • if turned OFF - An argument is passed as a scalar.
  • Array size - Defines the size of an array of primitive types (-1 in case of arrays of dynamic size)
  • Input - Defines argument as an input
  • Output - Defines argument as an output
  • Label - User defined name of an argument (and actor port)


Warning

Restrictions concerning type and order of arguments

Arguments specified in this tab must match a type and order of arguments of the routine/function.

Fig. 5. An example of subroutine arguments

...

  • equilibrium - an input parameter - one IDS (slice)
  • amns_data - an input parameter - all amns_data IDS slices stored in given shot/run
  • integer - an input parameter - a scalar
  • double - an input parameter - an array of size 10
  • edge_source - an in/out parameter - single slice of "edge_source" IDS
  • waves - an output parameter - all slices of "waves" IDS

...

Code specific parameters are all parameters which are specific to the code (like switches, scaling parameters, and parameters for built-in analytical models) as well as parameters to explicitly overrule fields in the ITM data IMAS data structures.

Image RemovedImage Added

Fig. 7. "Source" tab

...

"Main library" field allows to define a path to library containing user subroutine/function.

Image RemovedImage Added

Fig. 8. "Source" tab - A path to "main" and "optional" library

...

"Custom libraries" are non-standard static libraries required for building the user code.

Image RemovedImage Added

Fig. 9. "Source" tab - A list of "custom" libraries

...

"System libraries" are system libraries handled by pkg-config mechanism and required for building the user code.

Image RemovedImage Added

Fig. 10. "Source" tab - A list of "system" libraries

...

  • add library from the list,
  • remove library
  • display detailed info (library definition returned by pkg-config mechanism)

Image RemovedImage Added

Fig. 11. Adding "system" libraries


Tip
  • Tooltips show a detailed info about parameters that would be added to Makefile for selected library
  • "Search" field allows for easy filtering the list of libraries
  • Only ITM IMAS libraries (80+) are shown by default. To see a list of all libraries (250+) defined by pkg-config mechanism "List all system libraries" checkbox should be selected.
  • The libraries marked as built for compiler other than currently selected one are filtered out of the list. To turn off this filter unselect appropriate checkbox


...

A user, using this tab, selects programming language of codes provided, compiler used to built library and type of code execution (sequential or parallel)

Image RemovedImage Added

Fig. 12. "Settings" tab - code description
  • Programming languange:
    • Type - Defines programming language of user codes. It could be set to:
      • Fortran
      • _C/C++
    • Compiler - Defines compiler being used. Possible values:
      • ifortgfortran
      • gccg++
  • Computation:
    • Parallel MPI - If turned ON uses MPI compilers (mpiifort for ifort, mpif90 for gfortran, mpigxx for C)
    • OPENMP - Defined if usage of OpenMP directives is turned ON/OFF
    • Batch - If turned ON, submits a user code to jobs queue (combined with Parallel MPI or OPENMP switch runs user code as parallel job)
  • Additional features:
    • Calls init method - If user function needs any pre-initialization, an additional function will be called.
    • Returns diagnostic info - adds output diagnostic information

9 Sandbox

"Sandbox" - a directory, in which actor will be run. Before execution of user codes wrapped by FC2K generated actor, directory will be changed to "sandbox", and after actor finishes, current directory will be switched back to previous value. The name (path) of "sandbox" directory will be created automatically or specified by user in actor configuration dialog. 

...

  • actor uses sandbox
  • a sandbox parameters shown in actor configuration dialog (see next paragraph)
