Re: [ALPS-users] How to use ALPS to calculate the example ofwebsite

Prof. Synge Todo

Thank you very much. According your suggestion, I change " WORK_FACTOR=[L*SWEEPS] " to " WORK_FACTOR="L*SWEEPS" ". Then I successfully covert the task.txt to task.txt.in.xml, task.txt.task1.in.xml and task.txt.task2.in.xml.

But now, I could not have the actual application to calculate the task.txt.in.xml. Where can I find it? And how can I use this actual application to run in my computer?

Thank you very much. With best regards.

Yours Sincerely. 2008-03-19

And now when I use parameter2xml to convert task.txt to task.xml, I met error just like alps_para2xml_error.JPG. The error information is Caught exception: parameter parse error at "[L*SWEEPS]; { L=10; T=0.1; } {"

Surrounding a parameter value by [ and ] is obsolete. Please use a pair of double quotation marks or single ones instead. E.g. WORK_FACTOR="L*SWEEPS"; // or WORK_FACTOR='L*SWEEPS'; Since the parameter value does not contain any spaces in this example, you can even write more simply as WORK_FACTOR=L*SWEEPS;

If I use the job.in.xml and parm.task1.in.xml of ALPS website, I also do not know how to use the alps-applications to get the result. I use "$HOME/ALPS/bin/main job.in.xml "(from the website at http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki-1.9.3/index.php/Tutorial:RunningSimulati... ), but there is the error information about "No such file or directory".

"main" should be replaced by the actual application name you want to run, i.e. spimmc, etc. Best, Synge
