Dear all, I am in the very early stages of experimenting around with ALPS, with the specific goal of using the software as a benchmark on some classical calculations. I hope you don't mind, but I have a number of basic questions I would like to ask, I'm finding the documentation rather hard to follow at the moment! 1. If I were to add a term to, say, the basic Heisenberg Hamiltonian what files should I be looking to do this in? 2. In order to recompile the code once this is done, is it just a case of running gcc on the .C files in the subdirectory of interest (in this case (~/alps-applications-1.2.2/mc/spins) or do I need to recompile the whole of ALPS? If so how is this done? 3. Is there a protocol in place in order to inform the main developers that my new (fictitious) Heisenberg code should be in the next version of ALPS?
