List of options and commands

Command line options:

-t

Create text and binary files for wire chamber test case, set ictest to 1.

-t=track-model

Create text and binary files for silicon strip tracker test case using track-models with different accounting for multiple scattering, set ictest to 2..6.

-s

Solution is not iterated. Automatically switched on in case of rank deficits for constraints.

-f

Force iterating of solution (in case of rank deficits for constraints).

-c

Check input (binary files, constraints). No solution is determined. (icheck=1)

-C

Check input (binary files, constraints, appearance). No solution is determined. (icheck=2)

Steering file commands:

In general the commands are defined by a single line:

    keyword   number1  number2  ...

For those specifying properties of the global parameters (keyword = parameter, constraint or measurement (or comment)) for each involved global parameter (identified by a label) one additional line follows:

    label     number1  number2  ...

Default values for the numerical arguments are shown in the command descriptions in '[]'. Missing arguments without default values have no effect.

bandwidth

Set band width mbandw for MINRES preconditioner to number1 [0] and additional flag lprecm to number2 [0].

blocksizePARDISO

Enable for PARDISO storage in BSR3 format (three-array variation of the block compressed sparse row format). Provide (one to ten, increasingly ordered) candidate block sizes. The block size with the smallest memory footprint (of the global matrix in BSR3 format) is selected.

cache

Set (read+write) cache size ncache to number1. Define cache size and average fill level.

Cfiles

Following binaries are C files.

checkinput

Set check input flag icheck to number1 [1]. Similar to -c or -C. For mpmod::icheck "icheck" >0 no solution is performed but input statistics is checked in detail. With mpmod::icheck "icheck" >1 the appearance range (first/last file,record and number of files) of global parameters is determined too.
