Installation

Introduction

PSC is available from github at https:://github.com/psc-code/psc.git . It uses a cmake-based build, so building the code should be relatively straightforward.

Dependencies

PSC has the following dependencies:

• (required) cmake is used as the build system
• (required) MPI, the Message Passing Interface library used for running the code in parallel
• (included) googletest for testing
• (equired) HDF5, currently still the only real option for regular field / particle output
• (optional) ADIOS2, currently the only option for checkpoint I/O
• (optional) viscid is useful for analyzing / visualizing PSC data
