choreo-GUI 1.0.0rc0

A set of tools to compute periodic solutions to the Newtonian N-body problem

choreo_GUI

This is the sister project to choreo, a Python package aiming at finding periodic solutions to the gravitational N-body problem. choreo-GUI is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to choreo, facilitating the process of setting up the optimization procedure, and providing means to visualize solutions. Thanks to Pyodide, the solver can be launched directly in the browser.

Try out this project, no installation required!

Power up the GUI solver with the CLI backend

Using clang or gcc as a C compiler, the single-threaded CLI solver is about 3 times faster that the wasm in-browser GUI solver. In addition, several independent single-threaded solvers can be launched simultaneously using a single command.

To use the CLI backend, follow these steps:

• Install the package
• In the GUI, define a workspace folder under Play => Workspace => Setup Workspace
• Every time the workspace is reloaded under Play => Workspace => Reload Workspace or every time a new initial state is generated in the GUI, a new configuration file choreo_config.json is written to disk.
• In the command line, run the installed script as choreo_CLI_search -f /path/to/workspace/folder/
