What is not supported

In our regression test for Pelegant, we excluded two types of tests, which are not supported in this version of Pelegant:

1. All of the tests tracking beam with one particle (or the number of particles is less than the number of processors) were excluded, as such a simulation will not benefit from the parallelization approach we employed.

2. The third type of tests we excluded are those needing slice analysis or an aperture search. They are not supported in Pelegant at present.

As some elements have not been parallelized in this version of Pelegant, it is possible that Pelegant will hang and never stop for some particular simulations, which happens when calling a parallelized function from a serial element. We suggest running a simulation with a small workload first before trying the final time-intensive simulation. Also, use of WATCH elements with FLUSH_INTERVAL=1 can be helpful in verifying that progress is being made. We listed the commands that have been tested in the appendices. Users can report bugs with all the input files to ywang25@aps.anl.gov or borland@aps.anl.gov.
