meep (electromagnetic FDTD solver)
Meep is a free and open-source software package for electromagnetics
simulation via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method spanning
a broad range of applications. It saves results in hdf5 format.
This package requires: hdf5, libctl, lapack, mpb
You probably will also want to preinstall: harminv
You may wish to also install: h5utils
You very probably want to build a multi-processor version of this
code by adding the "--with-openmp" configure option. Here, mpb is
specified as a prerequisite since at the present time the python
interface will not build without it.
Configuration:
If the build script can find the ATLAS libraries, it will adapt the configure
options to use them, rather than the the default choice of lapack.
You can add additional options to the command line using the environment
variable SBOPTIONS_MEEP; e.g. to enable MPI (multi-processor calculation)
using openmp, use:
SBOPTIONS_MEEP="--with-openmp" ./meep.Slackbuild
Alternatively, if building non-interactively (e.g. if using slpkg), use/create
the file /etc/sbo_pkg_options.conf since this slackbuild script will search it
for options. Simply include a line starting "meep:" followed by options, e.g.:
meep: --with-openmp
Currently, building the python support for meep can be problematic unless
the mpb package is also installed; if you do so, and (e.g.) use openmp, it is
best to build mpb with the same option. You may also need to install mpi4py
using pip. If you do not want python support, specify "--without-python",
and in this case installing mpb is not necessary.
