SimProp - beta version

SimProp is a Monte Carlo simulation code of ultra-high energy cosmic ray propagation. SimProp-Sirente is based on SimProp-v2r4 but still in its initial development.

The stable release (and older versions) of SimProp can be found at https://augeraq.sites.lngs.infn.it

Enquires about SimProp must be addressed to the SimProp development group at SimProp-dev@aquila.infn.it

Obtaining SIMPROP source

The preferred way is to clone the source from the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/carmeloevoli/SimProp-Sirente.git

The other method is to download a ZIP file from the GitHub page by clicking "Clone and download" and then "Download ZIP".

Install

SimProp can be installed on GNU/Linux and macOS (OS X), while other operating systems have not been tested and are generally not supported.

Dependencies and requirements

Required:

• CMake (cmake) is necessary to configure and build the source code (ver. 3.1+)
• GCC (g++) or Clang (clang++) are supported compilers; as modern C++ is employed (C++14), at least GCC 6.1 / Clang 3.4 should be considered
• GNU Scientific Library (GSL) (gsl) is mandatory for numerical integration and for special functions

Optional:

• Git is needed if one wants to clone and keep in sync the source code from the git repository (recommended)
• LCOV is used with gcov (GCC) to generate the code coverage reports

Provided with the source:

• Google Test is employed as a framework for unit tests v1.10.0
• PLOG is a C++ logging library v1.1.5
• NamedType is a C++ library for the easy implementation of StrongTypes master

Install on GNU/Linux

Required packages to build on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora systems:

dnf install git cmake g++ gsl-devel

To build it with cmake:

cd SimProp-Sirente
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DENABLE_TESTING=On ..
make -j
make test

Install on macOS (OS X)

To obtain the required and optional packages, one can use Homebrew:

brew install cmake gsl 
brew install gcc # only if GCC is desired
brew link --overwrite gcc # same as above

To build it with cmake:

cd SimProp-Sirente
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DENABLE_TESTING=On ..
make -j
make test

Or for GCC:

export GCC_BREW_PATH=$(brew --cellar gcc)/$(brew info --json gcc | jq -r '.[0].installed[0].version');
export CC=$GCC_BREW_PATH/bin/gcc-9
export CXX=$GCC_BREW_PATH/bin/g++-9
cmake -DENABLE_TESTING=On ..
make -j
make test
