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_B40C=1 -DUSE_DUST=1 -DUSE_OPENGL=1

For production simulations cmake -DUSE_B40C=1 -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)
