1) Simbuca usage
---------------
Information of Simbuca is stored and kept up to date on the Simbuca wiki page
https://sourceforge.net/p/simbuca/wiki/Home/

2) installing Simbuca
------------------=---
cd bin
make all


3) Running a simulation
-------------------------
By default the simbuca executable is stored in the simulations directory with some example inputfiles.

You can execute Simbuca by feeding it with an input file. For example
./simbuca example1.sim

It is advised to use one of the exampleX.sim file and use this for your simulations. 
More information about how to set up the example.sim file can be found in the FAQ, see item 1)
Also note that not all examples will run for you as some require input fieldmaps.


4) Using the graphics card (GPU) or conventional CPU
-----------------------------
If you change your processing unit be sure to clean the object files.
In the Makefile change the PU variable to 'cpu' or 'gpu'
type make clear to remove all object files
type make all to make all object files again but now fore the other processing unit


5) Compiling with icpc or g++
----------------------------
pico Makefile (or use another editor)
change the COMPILER variable to 'icpc' or 'g++'
