[Global]

The global section generally handles settings that affect the whole program.

• xsec_path

  • str or list of str

  • Defines the path(s) that contain molecular cross-sections

  • e.g xsec_path = path/to/xsec

• xsec_interpolation

  • exp or linear

  • Defines whether to use exponential or linear interpolation for temperature

  • e.g xsec_interpolation = exp

• in_memory

  • True or False

  • For HDF5 opacities. Determines if streamed from file (False) or loaded into memory (True)

  • Default is True

  • e.g in_memory = true

• cia_path

  • str or list of str

  • Defines the path(s) that contain CIA cross-sections

  • e.g cia_path = path/to/xsec

• ktable_path

  • str or list of str

  • Defines the path(s) that contain k-tables

  • e.g ktable_path = path/to/ktables

• opacity_method

  • Either xsec or ktables

  • Choose whether to use molecular cross-sections or correlated k method.

  • e.g opacity_method = ktables

• mpi_use_shared

  • True or False

  • Exploit MPI 3.0 shared memory to significantly reduce memory usage per node

  • When running under MPI, will only allocate arrays once in a node rather than each process

  • Works on allocations that use this feature (i.e pickle and HDF5 opacities)

  • e.g mpi_use_shared = True
