Python and C/C++ code to read halo catalogs and other Abacus N-body data products

Project description

abacusutils

Documentation Status PyPI

abacusutils is a package for reading and manipulating data products from the Abacus N-body project. In particular, these utilities are intended for use with the AbacusSummit suite of simulations. Most of the code is in Python 3, but we also provide some examples of how to interface with C/C++.

Full API documentation: https://abacusutils.readthedocs.io

Installation

The Python abacusutils package is hosted on PyPI and can be installed by installing "abacusutils" and our fork of the ASDF library with the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/lgarrison/asdf.git abacusutils

The C/C++ code (e.g. the pack9/ directory) can be downloaded directly by cloning this repository:

git clone https://github.com/abacusorg/abacusutils.git

or by downloading a zip archive of the repository:

wget https://github.com/abacusorg/abacusutils/archive/master.zip

Python Dependencies

The Python dependencies are numpy, asdf (our fork), blosc, astropy, and numba. The only "unusual" dependency is asdf, because we require our fork of the project to be installed (located at: https://github.com/lgarrison/asdf/). Our fork supports blosc compression.

Usage

The abacusutils PyPI package contains a Python package called abacusnbody. This is the name to import (not abacusutils, which is just the name of the PyPI package). For example, to import the compaso_halo_catalog module, use

import abacusnbody.data.compaso_halo_catalog

See the full documentation at https://abacusutils.readthedocs.io

Specific examples of how to use abacusutils to work with AbacusSummit data are given at the AbacusSummit website: https://abacussummit.readthedocs.io
