How do download Osiris dumps fast

1. SSH to HPC and go to the output folder

2. Compress the folder using the command

tar -cvzpf archive.tgz /auto/rcf-19/kallos/new_beam/MS

where the path will be different for each case. This compresses the total file size by ~10 times.

3. Download the single archive file using an ftp client. The time is roughly 2.5 minutes per GB of original (uncompressed) data. The total time savings is about 20 times compared to uncompressed data.

4. Decompresses locally the files using a program like winrar.

5. You are set to go and analyze the data!

how to get a blank matlab movie

I was using the following code to make the movie from the hdf files
and for some reason it didn't work this time after some soul searching I realised that the
matlab command FIGURE caused the whole problem. so I removed it from the code and VOILA!

filename = ['3dmovie5'];
%let's create the first avi file
aviobj = avifile(filename); %opens file called name
aviobj.Quality=100;%quality of mImages
aviobj.Compression='None'; %compression
aviobj.Fps=6;%frames per second
ImFirst=20;
ImLast=90;


for im=ImFirst:10:ImLast
im
hf = figure('visible','off');
cd('L:\osiris\monoenergetic\moresmoothe\parandallagain\MS\FLD\E1');
[marray1,z,r]=openhdf(['E1-0000',num2str(im),'.hdf']);
a=1;
b=70;
c=1;
d=160;

field=[marray1(a:b,c:d)];
FIGURE;mymeshc(z(c:d)*23.8,r(a:b)*23.8,field*21);
axis([0 200 0 100 -40 40])
set(gca,'View',[29 22]);
xlabel(' z (\mu m)');
ylabel('r (\mu m)');
zlabel( 'E (GV/m)');
set(gca,'XMinorGrid','on')
set(gca,'YMinorGrid','on')
set(gca,'ZMinorGrid','on')
