Zoom 1: Introducing zoom_init
This is the first in a line of modular MRs for the zoom functionality. This MR introduces the zoom code's basic structure and the cell grid properties calculation at initialisation.
- The
src/zoom_region
directory is introduced to house the zoom functionality. This is an improvement over the existing zoom branches where all zoom source code was insrc
, functionality has also been (and will be) further separated than in the existing zoom branches. - The
--enable-zoom-region
configure flag is introduced alongside the necessary changes to the Makefile. -
zoom_init.c/h
are introduced. The functions within calculate the shift necessary to move the particles to the centre of the box and calculate the boundaries, dimensions and widths of each cell grid (zoom, buffer and background; buffer being optional) for 3 different cases:- Large zoom regions allow multiple background cells in the zoom region (e.g. Apostle)
- Intermediate zoom region sizes tesselate background cells the size of the zoom region across the box.
- Small zoom regions introduced buffer cells between the zoom cells and background cells to ensure the number of background cells isn't too high (e.g. C-EAGLE/FLARES).
-
zoom_init
is called inspace_init
. - The zoom initialisation requires the gravity properties so
gravity_props_init
is now called prior tospace_init
. - An example parameter file has been introduced in
examples/ZoomRegiion
. - Parameter naming conventions have been improved relative to the existing zoom branches to be clearer and reduce confusion between padding around the high-resolution particles and buffer cells.
- An important change to note over the existing zoom branches is that
Scheduler:max_top_level_cells
is now ignored in favour of a more explicit parameter in the zoom block:ZoomRegion:zoom_top_level_cells
.
