Simulation Factory Advanced Tutorial

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 Simulation Factory, it must be checked out from svn. This can be accomplished using the following command:

svn co https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory/branches/PYSIM_2010
