The project High-Intensity Collisions and Interactions (Hi-Chi) is an open-source collection of Python-controlled tools for performing simulations and data analysis in the research area of strong-field particle and plasma physics. The tools are being developed in C++ and provide high performance using either local or supercomputer resources. The project is intended to offer an environment for testing, benchmarking and aggregative use of individual components, ranging from basic routines to supercomputer codes.
This repository uses git submodules. To download the code and dependencies please use
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hi-chi/pyHiChiAlternatively, omit --recursive and manually put pybind11 into the 3rdparty directory.
The installation process is described below. The installation via pip-manager will be implemented in the future.
- Python 3:
python/python3andpython-dev/python3-devavailable numbaCMake3.1 or higherpybind11, comes as a submodule in this repositoryfftw3, will be installed automatically in case it is not available- Additionally to run our examples:
numpyandmatplotlib
First, install the dependencies. To build the project one needs gcc or icc supporting C++11.
Run ./build_linux.sh with the following options:
-openmpto enable OpenMP support (recommended)-fftwto enable FFTW support-python <path>to use a non-standard path to Python
After the installation, the binaries will appear in ../bin. One needs to copy these files to the folder with the Python script to be executed. For example, one can use small tests from the folder example-tests.
For the installation one needs a compiler with C++11 support, for example, Visual Studio 2015 or later.
Run build_windows.bat with the following options:
- Windows-only:
/g <generator>CMake generator name /openmpto enable OpenMP support (recommended)/fftwto enable FFTW support/python <path>to use a non-standard path to Python
After the installation, the binaries will appear in ../bin. One needs to copy these files to the folder with the Python script to be executed. For example, one can use small tests from the folder example-tests.
To be added soon. Please contact the developers for details meanwhile.
