Population grid code options

The following chapter contains all grid code options, along with their descriptions There are 2 options that are not described yet.

Public options

The following options are meant to be changed by the user.

C_auto_logging: Dictionary containing parameters to be logged by binary_c. The structure of this dictionary is as follows: the key is used as the headline which the user can then catch. The value at that key is a list of binary_c system parameters (like star[0].mass)

C_logging_code: Variable to store the exact code that is used for the custom_logging. In this way the user can do more complex logging, as well as putting these logging strings in files.

amt_cores: The amount of cores that the population grid will use. The multiprocessing is useful but make sure to figure out how many logical cores the machine has. The core is multi processed, not multi threaded, and will gain no extra speed when amt_cores exceeds the amount of logical cores. Input: int

combine_ensemble_with_thread_joining: Boolean flag on whether to combine everything and return it to the user or if false: write it to data_dir/ensemble_output_{population_id}_{thread_id}.json

condor: Int flag whether to use a condor type population evolution. Not implemented yet.
