Additional Global Keywords

These settings are still part of default_settings and therefore can appear in runtime settings if present in input JSON.

Keyword Default value Description
scratch_base dynamic path under /scratch//kmo/... Base directory for simulation work. Generated dynamically at runtime import.
project_name "KMO_Project" Work directory/project folder name.
log_level 20 (INFO) Logging verbosity.
rc_software "mess" Master equation software backend selector. Currently the only other supported Master Equation backend.
use_automech false Optional rate-coefficient path. When false, KiMecO runs the standard single-pass MESS. When true, KiMecO emits a per-PES Python driver that uses automech's mess_io API to run a two-pass MESS with automatic WellExtension well-lumping (pass 1, then an extended pass 2). Requires automech (autoio/mess_io) installed in both the run and job environments; the run is cancelled early with a clear message if it is missing. In the kmo_start GUI this appears under the "Rate Coefficients" category.
restart "default" Restart strategy for database/table handling. Only other possible value is "rescore". Will not produce new models but will rescore existing ones. Be sure you know what you're doing if changing this option. Backing up your databases ahead is recommended as the scores will be overwritten.
db_user current username Database user name.
db_host "127.0.0.1" Database host address.
threads 1 Main-process I/O thread count. Increase to run multiple NM instances during Nelder-Mead Swarm optimization. This option does not require MPI.
