Using This Thorn

To use this thorn simply run the different parameter files in the par directory and note the reported timings. Be aware that the parameter files can create significant amounts of data.

Note that the speed of writing data to disk is highly dependent on the file system being written to, and you may want to change the parameter IO::checkpoint_dir to experiment with this.

When using multiple processors, the speed of writing will depend on how many processors are doing the writing, change the parameter files with 8procs in the name to change the number of processors used.
