How to compile and run GYACOMO

1. Be sure to have correct library paths in local/dirs.inc for the different libraries, see INSTALATION.txt for a tutorial to install the required libraries.
2. Compile from /gyacomo using make, the binary will be located in /gyacomo/bin (you can also compile a debug version using make dbg)
3. The fort.90 file should contain the parameters for a typical CBC to test the compilation. One can run it by calling the executable /bin/gyacomo in the directory where the fort.90 is located.
4. It is possible to run GYACOMO in parallel using MPI: mpirun -np N ./bin/gyacomo Np Ny Nz where N=Np x Ny x Nz is the number of processes and Np Ny Nz are the parallel dimensions in Hermite polynomials, binormal direction and parallel direction, respectively
5. You can stop your simulation without corrupting the output file by creating a blank file call "mystop", using e.g. "touch mystop" in the directory where the simulation is running. (the file will be removed once read)
6. It is also possible to put simulations ID in order to chain them. The parameter Job2load allows you to tell which output file should be read in order to restart a simulation. E.g. I run a first simulation with job2load = -1, it creates a outputs_00.h5 then I create a new fort.90 which I call fort_01.90 where job2load = 0. I run then GYACOMO, indicating that I want it to read the fort_00.90 using 0 as a last argument, i.e. "./gyacomo 0" or "mpirun -np N ./gyacomo Np Ny Nz 0", which will start from the latest 5D state saved in outputs_00.h5. A new output file has also been created, output_01.h5.
7. You can obtain various plots and gifs using gyacomo/wk/gyacomo_analysis.m once the simulation is done. The directory where the results are located must be given in the scripts. It is not a function (yet...)

Comment : For some collision operators (Sugama and Full Coulomb) you have to run COSOlver from B.J.Frei first in order to generate the required matrices in gyacomo/iCa folder.
