TITERRA General Usage Tips

  1. Look at scripts under scripts/, which are scripts I’ve used before on MSI (they might no longer work, but they do give you some idea of how to invoke SIERRA).

  2. If you are running the FORDYCA project and using a quad_source block distribution, the arena should be at least 16x16 (smaller arenas don’t leave enough space for caches and often cause segfaults).

  3. For SS,DS distributions a rectangular 2x1 arena is required. That is, an arena where the X dimension is twice the Y dimension. If you try to run with anything else, you will get an error.

  4. For QS,PL,RN distributions a square arena is required (if you try to run with anything else, you will get an error).
