Also what are the disadvantages of using SDF format. Is HDF the most used, or other besides these. What does anyone prefer, for why. There are nice visualization softwares for sdf, ascii (xg). What about hdf though besides HDFView. Thanks for your time.

SDF files used to be widely used some time ago, but these days most Cactus users use HDF5 as output format. The largest difference these days is that Cactus's mesh refinement driver Carpet supports only HDF5. The HDF5 file format is actively developed, and the HDF5 library is installed and supported by all major HPC centres. The web page has information about visualising Cactus output. There are Cactus format readers for Amira, OpenDX, and VisIt; and there are also converters/ readers for DV and xvs. For ASCII files, there are ygraph and gnuplot in addition to xgraph. If you use xgraph, you may want to try ygraph instead. -erik -- Erik Schnetter http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~eschnett/ My email is as private as my paper mail.

Ibrahim, on what project are you working, where you consider combining Matlab and Cactus? What exactly are you trying to achieve? Matlab and Cactus have a slightly different focus; whereas Matlab has a good user interface, Cactus is for applications which have to have very high performance on fast supercomputers. Cactus as software framework makes it also possible to combine codes written in different languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. "Porting" Cactus to Matlab, if I understand correctly what you mean by this, would give up many of these advantages, and therefore there is no version Cactus that would run inside Matlab. -erik -- Erik Schnetter http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~eschnett/ My email is as private as my paper mail.
