Walker Format Conversion

From Zori Wiki

Converting HD5 format walkers

Once you have the walker file(s) in XML format convert them into the HDF5 format by the following command:

zori -K -X -i create.xml -p hno-psi.xml -r walkers -w theSingleHD5walkerFile

Note this will generate a single HD5 walker file ("theSingleHD5walkerFile.hd5") from all of the XML walker files if you preceed the zori command with a mpirun command The "-K" option skips any walk specified by the "-i" option and only proceeds in the walker conversion. The "-X" option converts XML walkers specified by "-r" and outputs the HDF5 walkers into the HD5 file specified by "-w"

Conversion from HD5 to XML is possible by using the "-V" switch instead of "-X"

mpirun -np 6 zori -K -V -i create.xml -p hno-psi.xml -w zwalkers -r walkerFile.hd5

6 XML walker files ("zwalkers-*.xml") are generated as expected.
