Albert Alonso, Robert G. Endres, J. B. Kirkegaard

Setup

Create a virtual enviorment and install the required packages using the following commands:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Note

requirements.txt installs the CUDA 12-compatible version of JAX. Modify this if you're using CPU-only or a different CUDA version.

Run

Run the core simulation:

python cramer.py

Visualize the results:

python visual.py
