simulating strong coupled plasmas for ion-laser-cooling on GPUs**

This is a start of a wiki page, that might help users.

If you use scpongpu for the first time and want to run it on hypnos, just do the following:

1. Follow our github instructions to get the source code, or in short:

# create general SCPonGPU work directory and enter it
mkdir SCPonGPU
cd SCPonGPU

# get source code from git hub (own repo)
git clone git@github.com:<YourUserName>/scpongpu.git
cd scpongpu

# add remote link to our source code 
git remote add mainline git@github.com:ComputationalRadiationPhysics/scpongpu.git

# update the remote link and pull all changes
git fetch mainline
git pull --rebase mainline master

2. create a runs directory next to your source code:

# go back to SCPonGPU folder
cd ..

# create runs folder
mkdir runs

3. copy source code into simulation directory

# copy source code for simulation
cp -r scpongpu/src/scpongpu runs/001_first_test_run

4. set up simulation

# go to simulation directory
cd runs/001_first_run

# go to a k20 node
qsub -I -q k20 -d . -l nodes=1:ppn=2

# get required modules
source scpongpu.profile

# compile SCPonGPU
make

# run simulation and wait till it is finished
./scp.exe

5. used data

The simulation data (particle id, position, momentum) is currently printed to stdout. It can be used for analysis.
