  24. Kinetic transport: The application Read from disk: Input file (“input.lis”): Number of files. Number of trajectories in each file (may be divided in blocks inside the file). (total statistics = number of files x number of trajectories per file) Length of each trajectory. Integration algorithm and time discretization. Number of measures in time. Temperature of backgroud electrons and ions. Random seed. Initial distribution (in space and velocity space). Model used, including or not: Collisions with backgroud ions. Electric field. T-density dependence. Starting point according to a (space) distribution function (“perfil_densidad.in”). Magnetic configuration (~ 20 MB file -> stored at the Fusion VO catalog) (“42_100_68.c3d”) Magnetic field and derivatives. Magnetic coordinates -> electric field. Distance to the vaccum chamber. Measurement times (“tiempos.lis”) NA4-Catania, 2006

  25. Written on disk: • “Raw” data ( “OUT????.DAT”) • “Pictures” of the plasma at fixed times (persistence, total energy, kinetic energy, components of the velocity ...) • “Points” of escape of the particle from the TJ-II (according to several different criteria) • ~ 0.9 KB / traj. (typically 1000 traj. / file -> ~ 900 KB) • writen every ~1 hour • Histograms (“OUT????.HIS”) • Runtime histograms of serveral magnitudes (energies, componentes of velocity, fluxes ...) as a function of spacial coordinates (rho, phi, theta) • ~ 0.16 KB / traj. (typically 1000 traj. / file -> ~160 KB) • writen every ~1 hour • Debug (“RUNTIME.DAT”) • Measurements at the end of the trajectories, just for check • ~ 0.2 KB / file OUT???.DAT • updated with every new OUT???.DAT (typically 1000 files -> ~200 KB) • Individual trajectories (“ty_??_??_??.dat”) • Complete information of each trajectory (time, position, velocity ...) • from ~10 MB to ~ GB / traj. depends on the length of the trajectory -> just for debug Total disk space = ~ 1.3 GB User Forum 2006
