The Simulation Factory is an effective method for controlling all facets of a Cactus simulation. It provides a central facility for managing an authoritative source tree, controlling and providing remote access to many commonly-used HPC machines including LONI and the TeraGrid, builds and compiles a Cactus source tree into many independent configurations, and can also manage a simulation all the way from creation to output.

Getting Started
In order to begin using The Simulation Factory, it must be checked out from svn. The Simulation Factory typically resides in the simfactory folder inside a Cactus source tree. To place The Simulation Factory there, you can use the following svn command from within the Cactus source tree:
svn co https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory/branches/PYSIM_2010 simfactory
The Simulation Factory can also be placed outside of a Cactus source tree and be used on multiple Cactus source trees. This approach will be detailed later.
