Usage

This section demonstrates how to use pyALF through small examples that can be directly executed, if everything has been set up as described in Prerequisites and installation. It first shows on a minimal example how to run an ALF simulation and get some results, then the different features are expanded in more detail. \(\phantom{\xi}\)

• Minimal example
• Compiling and running ALF
• Postprocessing
  • Basic analysis
  • Custom/Derived Observables
  • Checking warmup and autocorrelation times
  • Symmetrization of correlations on the lattice
• Command line tools

For a reference on all features, see Reference.

Tip

The Python builtin help() is very useful for getting information on an object. Try e.g. help(Simulation) after importing Simulation from py_alf.
