formset

Test PyPI version

A form.set generator.

This is a small script to generate a configuration file form.set of FORM for your machine. The script suggests adequate static buffer sizes for tform from the number of CPUs and physical memory available on the computer.

Installation

pip install formtools-formset

You can also pick up the main script file formset.py manually.

Usage

formset     # prints a set of adequate setup parameters

formset -o  # writes a set of adequate setup parameters to "form.set"

Note that this script considers only static buffers, allocated at the start-up of FORM. If your FORM program uses much bigger dynamical buffers than usual (for example, you need to handle complicated rational functions or you want to optimize very huge polynomials) then you need to adjust the initial memory usage by the --percentage N (or -p N) option:

formset -p 50

If your program requires a non-default MaxTermSize (or other parameters), then you need to specify it:

formset MaxTermSize=200K

Other command-line options can be found in the help message:

formset --help
