Bonsai demo keys

[esc] quit
[h] / [~] sliders
[space] toggle simulation
[r] toggle rendering
[p] move through particle render modes (volumetric, points, additive point sprites)
[b] toggle octree boxes
[l] toggle display light scatter buffer
[c] fit camera
[[] decrement minimum octree display level
[]] increment minimum octree display level
[-] decrement maximum octree display level
[=] increment maximum octree display level
[g] toggle glow / post processing
[f] toggle fly mode (use wasd to steer, right mouse to go faster)
[n] detonate supernova
[1] toggle direct (N^2) gravitation

Bonsai Program arguments

Standard:

-h Display the help and shows default argument values
-i Input snapshot filename
--dev Device ID to run simulation on
-t Simulation time-step
-T Simulation end-time
-e Softening-value (will be squared)
-o Opening angle (theta)
-r Rebuild tree every # steps
--snapname Snapshot base name (N-body time is appended in 000000 format)
--snapiter Snapshot iteration (N-body time)
--valueadd Value to add to the snapshot name
--log Enable printfs
--logfile Filename to store kernel timing information
--rmdist Particle removal distance (uncommented in the code)

Demo specific:

--reducebodies Cut down bodies dataset by # factor
--reducedust Cut down dust dataset by # factor
--direct Enable N^2 direct gravitation
--renderdev Device ID to run the visualization on
--fullscreen Set fullscreen mode string, format: [ width "x" height ][ ":" bitsPerPixel ][ "@" videoRate ]
--displayfps Enable on-screen FPS display
--Tglow Enable glowing particles @ # Myr
--dTglow Reach full brightness in @ # Myr

Compile tips and tricks

Using CMake under Linux:

For Demo purposes: cmake -DUSE_CUB=0 -DUSE_DUST=1 -DUSE_OPENGL=1

For production simulations cmake -DUSE_CUB=0 -DUSE_DUST=0

Using MPI under linux: cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=mpicxx

Compilation for Fermi architecture: cmake -DCOMPILE_SM30=0

Compilation for Tesla architecture: Sorry not supported anymore, time to upgrade your hardware!

Compilation with device debugging: cmake -DCUDA_DEVICE_DEBUGGING=1

Build debug configuration: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

(Or use ccmake CMakeCache.txt, to alter the properties)
