Simple Variational Monte Carlo solve for FYS4411
Class structure for the first VMC project of FYS4411 (spring 2021). The project involves studying a trapped, hard sphere Bose gas using Monte Carlo simulations. For further detials see the pdf.
Compiling and running the project
There are several options you can use for compiling the project. If you use QT Creator, you can import this project into the IDE and point it to the .pro-file. If not, you can use CMake to create a Makefile for you which you can then run. You can install CMake through one of the Linux package managers, e.g., apt install cmake, pacman -S cmake, etc. For Mac you can install using brew install cmake. Other ways of installing are shown here: https://cmake.org/install/.
On occasion the program won't run properly. In that case try reruning or recompiling and then reruning the program. There might also be som extra problems runing the program on Linux. Make sure your system is up to date incase you have problems.
Compiling the project using CMake
In a Linux/Mac terminal this can be done by the following commands
# Create build-directory
mkdir build
# Move into the build-directory
cd build
# Run CMake to create a Makefile
cmake ../
# Make the Makefile using two threads
make -j2
# Move the executable to the top-directory
mv vmc ..Or, simply run the script compile_project via
./compile_projectand the same set of commands are done for you. Now the project can be run by executing
./vmcin the top-directory.
Cleaning the directory
Run make clean in the top-directory to remove the executable vmc and the build-directory.
Windows
Compilation of the project using Windows can be done. Install Cmake to do so. You might also have to update yor path directory. Then run the following commands in a terminal
mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
mingw32-make.exe -j2
mv .\vmc.exe ..Now the project can be run by executing
./vmc.exe
