DSQSS (Discrete Space Quantum Systems Solver) is a software package for calculating expectation values of several observables of quantum lattice systems in finite temperature. DSQSS implements the path-integral Monte Carlo method with the directed loop algorithm.

Build and Install

prerequisite
  • C++ Compiler
  • CMake >=2.8.12
  • Python >=3.8
    • numpy
    • scipy
    • toml
Simple build
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
Notes

To change compiler, add -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER like

cmake ../ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which icpc`

For Intel compiler, DSQSS offers another option -DCONFIG=intel for setting compiler and adding compiler options

cmake ../ -DCONFIG=intel

You can find executable files in build/src/dla, build/tool and build/src/pmwa/.

build manual

Sphinx and sphinxcontrib-spelling are required. LaTeX is required for PDF format.

# in the build directory,
cmake -DDocument=ON ../
make doc
Testing
# in the build directory,
ctest

When some tests failed, you can check output of these tests by following:

# in the build directory,
ctest -V -R "test name"

Test names can be specified by the regular expression.

Install

The path to install is specified by -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as the following,

# in the build directory,
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_DIR} ../
make install

After this process, executable files such as dla are installed to ${INSTALL_DIR}/bin, a configuration file dsqssvars-${DSQSS_VERSION}.sh to ${INSTALL_DIR}/share/dsqss/, sample files to ${INSTALL_DIR}/share/dsqss/dsqss-${DSQSS_VERSION}/sample, and documents (if built) to ${INSTALL_DIR}/share/dsqss/dsqss-${DSQSS_VERSION}/doc.

Example
source ${INSTALL_DIR}/share/dsqss/dsqssvars-${DSQSS_VERSION}.sh
cd sample/dla/01_spindimer
dla_pre std.toml
dla param.in
cat sample.log | grep ene
