Name

UNSIOF -- Unified Nbody Snapshot Library (fortran version).

Description

UNSIOF is a high level C++ library which allows Input operations in a generic way on Nbody snapshot files,
from a FORTRAN program. Currently, NEMO, Gadget 1 and 2 little and bigendian, and list of separated snapshots in a text file are supported. The use of this set of functions is very simple and doesn’t require any knowledge of the internal file structure of the snapshot. The library can manage multiple reading of different snapshots in the
same program. Every snapshots is identified by a unique identifier provided by the library.

The process to read data is done in 3 steps:

1) Initialisation of the library
2) Data loading
3) Data extracting

Initialisation


integer uns_init(filename, selected_component, selected_time)
It returns an integer as a unique identifier. A returned value less
than 0 means that the simulation does not exist or a file format unknown.

filename: (character * (*)) Is the input simulation filename. It can be an absolute
filename path or just a simulation name (eg "gas001"). In the later case, all the parameters of the simulation, if it exists, will be automatically collected from the simulation database filename stored in the usual place (/pil/programs/DB/simulation.dbl).

selected_component: (character * (*)) select components or range of particles that you want to load. The
following data can be requested:disk,gas,halo,bulge,stars,bndry,all. A range with the value "0:299999" select the particles between 0 and 299999. For NEMO simulation, range and components of the selected simulation will be taken from the file /pil/programs/DB/simulation.dbl. You can request several data separated with a "," like this:
"disk,gas". The order of your selection will be respected when you will get the data.

selected_time: (character * (*)) select a range of time from where you want to select the
particles. You can request several range of times separated with a ",". Example: "700:750,800:900" will only proceed on particles in the time
range [700:750] and [800:900].

integer uns_sim_type(ident) This function return an integer matching to the type of the snaphot identified by
the integer ident. It returns "0" for nemo snapshot, "1" for gadget snapshot.

Data Loading

integer uns_load(ident)
This function load the next time step of the snaphot identified by
the integer ident. It returns "1" if the snapshot has been successfully loaded or "0" at
the end of the snapshot.

integer uns_load_opt(ident,selected_values)
This is an optimized version of the uns_load() function.
This function load the next time step of the snaphot identified by
the integer ident. It returns "1" if the snapshot has been successfully loaded or "0" at
the end of the snapshot.

selected_values: (character * (*)) The extra variable selected_values allows to restrict the loading of
selected values only. It can speedup the file
loading and reduce the memory footprint. Each value is specified by a
character. Here is all the possibilities :
’m’ mass
’x’ position
’v’ velolcity
’p’ potential
’a’ acceleration
’e’ softening
’k’ keys array (from nemo)
’X’ aux array (from nemo)
’R’ density
’I’ particles’s Id
’U’ Internal energy
’M’ metallicity
’A’ stars’s age
’H’ hsml
’T’ temperature

example: "mxR" will load mass, position and density only.

DATA EXTRACTING (uns_get_value/ uns_get_array)

In the following text, we assume that character variable component can take the following values: "all","gas","disk","halo","stars","bulge","bndry"

Each functions return 1 if success or 0 if it fails.

There is a set of uns_get_value functions to get data value (float or integer) from the
snapshot. Each functions take as first parameter an integer ident, returned by the function uns_init(...).

function integer uns_get_value_i(ident,tag,data) Put in the integer variable data, the requested tag value. Tag is a string variable.

tag="nsel" => set data with number of particles selected

function integer uns_get_value_f(ident,tag,data) Put in the real*4 variable data, the requested tag value. Tag is a string variable.

tag="time" => set data with snapshot time

tag="redshift"  => set data with snapshot redshift
function integer uns_get_array_i(ident,component,tag,data,n)
Put in the integer array variable data(n), the requested  combination of
tag value and component. Tag and component are string  variables.
tag="id"        => set data array with component ids
tag="nbody"     => set n value with component nbody 
function integer uns_get_array_f(ident,component,tag,data,n)
 Put in the real*4 array variable data(n), the requested combination of
tag value and component. Tag and component are string  variables.
tag="pos"        => set data array with component position

tag="vel"        => set data array with component velocity

tag="mass"       => set data array with component mass

tag="acc"        => set data array with component acceleration

tag="pot"        => set data array with component potential

tag="rho "       => set data array with component density

tag="u"          => set data array with component internal energy

tag="hsml"       => set data array with component hydro smooth length

tag="age"        => set data array with component age

tag="metal"      => set data array with component metalicity

tag="temp"       => set data array with component temperature
DATA EXTRACTING (uns_get_XXXX) There is a set of uns_get_XXXX functions
to get data from the
 snapshot. Each functions take as the first parameter an integer ident returned
by the function uns_init(...).  subroutine uns_get_nbody(ident,nbody)  Put
in the integer variable nbody the #bodies resquested
 according to the selected_component variable (Cf uns_init(...) function).
 subroutine uns_get_time(ident,time)  Put in the floating variable time
the current time of the simulation.
  subroutine uns_get_pos(ident,pos,size_array)  Put in the two dimensional
floating array pos(3,size_array),
 all the positions requested.  subroutine uns_get_vel(ident,vel,size_array)
 Put in the two dimensional floating array vel(3,size_array),
 all the velocities requested.  subroutine uns_get_mass(ident,mass,size_array)
 Put in the one dimensional floating array mass(size_array),
 all the masses requested.  function integer uns_get_age(ident,age,size_array)
 Put in the one dimensional floating array age(size_array),
 all the particles with an age (stars). It returns the number of stars particles
or 0.  function integer uns_get_metal(ident,metal,size_array)  Put in the
one dimensional floating array metal(size_array),
 all the particles with metalicity (gas+stars) in the respective order
gas then stars. It returns the number of gas+stars particles or 0.  function
integer uns_get_metal_gas(ident,metal,size_array)  Put in the one dimensional
floating array metal(size_array),
 metalicity of the gas particles. It returns the number of gas particles
or 0.  function integer uns_get_metal_stars(ident,metal,size_array)  Put
in the one dimensional floating array metal(size_array),
 metalicity of the stars particles. It returns the number of stars particles
or 0.  function integer uns_get_u(ident,u,size_array)  Put in the one dimensional
floating array u(size_array),
 internal energy of the gas particles. It returns the number of gas particles
or 0.  function integer uns_get_temp(ident,temp,size_array)  Put in the
one dimensional floating array temp(size_array),
 temperature of the gas particles. It returns the number of gas particles
or 0.  function integer uns_get_rho(ident,rho,size_array)  Put in the one
dimensional floating array rho(size_array),
 density of the gas particles. It returns the number of gas particles or
0.  integer uns_get_range(ident,component,nbody,first,last)  This function
give the particles’s range for a selected
 component. You give in a string variable component, the name of the component,
and the function return an integer variable nbody (#bodies), first and
last, the first and the last index of the component in the array. First
and last values are given in fortran array convention (starts from index
1).   It returns "1" if the component exist, and "0" otherwise.
  Example to get halo’s particles range:
   status =  uns_get_range(ident,"halo",n,first,last)
  integer uns_get_eps(ident,component,eps)  This function give the softening
for a selected component. You give
 in a string variable component, the name of the component, and  the function
return a float variable eps.   It returns "1" if the softening exist for
the component, and
 "0" otherwise.  This function will only work if the simulation requested
belong to
 the database file /pil/programs/DB/simulation.dbl.   Example to get halo’s
softening:
   status =  uns_get_eps(ident,"halo",eps)
  integer uns_get_cod(ident,component,time,tcod[7])  This function give
the COD for a selected component (or a set of
  components separeted with ","), at the selected time. You give
 in a string variable component, the name of the component, and  the function
return a float array tcod[7] filled with respectively  the time, x,y,z,vx,vy,vz
of the COD.
   It returns "1" if the cod  exist for the requested component
  and time. It returns "0" if the cod does not exits for the
  requested time. It returns "-1" if the COD file does not exist.
   This function will only work if the simulation requested belong to
 the database file /pil/programs/DB/simulation.dbl.   Example to get "disk,stars"’s
cod at time=0.1:
   status =  uns_get_cod(ident,"disk,stars",0.1,tcod)

Compilation A fortran program which use the UNS library must link against
NEMO
 library (-lnemo) and C++ library (-lstdc++). Here is an example of Makefile
using gfortran compiler.
