Parallel Dislocation Simulator (ParaDis) is a Discrete Dislocation Dynamics simulation code developed by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Labrotory. The website: http://paradis.stanford.edu/

Compiling:

1, loading openmpi

2, Simply edit 'makefile.setup' and set the “SYS= ” value to the desired system type. Here is a example: Set the 'SYS=linux.pc' and 'XLIB_MODE=OFF'.

3, Then executing 'gmake' in the folder of Paradis.

Running a test:

In the main folder of paradis, type “bin/paradis tests/test.ctrl”. For example, type “bin/paradis tests/frank_read_src.ctrl” in terminal.

If you want to run a simulation in parallel, you should load openmpi and then type “mpirun -np 8(the number of threads) bin/paradis tests/frank_read_src.ctrl” in terminal.

Any output from these runs will be placed into corresponding sub-directories under the tests directory.

You can find paradis user's guide in the docs folder.
