<H2>Overview</H2>
<DL>
<DT>Parallel seismic wave simulation that demonstrates use of parallel_for and affinity_partitioner.
<DT>The example can be built in the offload version to run on Intel&reg; Many Integrated Core (Intel&reg; MIC) Architecture based coprocessor (see <A HREF=../../index.html#build_4>build instructions</A>).
NOTE: Currently, the offload version does not support GUI and can only be used with console mode.

<DD>Contains Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2010 workspace for building and running the
example (Windows* systems only).<DT><A HREF="xcode">xcode</A>
<DD>Contains Xcode* IDE workspace for building and running the example (OS X*

<H2>To Build</H2>
General build directions can be found <A HREF=../../index.html#build>here</A>.
The following additional options are supported:
<DL>
<DT><TT>make [(general targets: {release, debug} [test])] UI={con, gdi, d2d, x, mac}</TT>
<DD>Build and run as usual, but build with the specified GUI driver: console, GDI+*,
Direct2D*, X11, or OpenGL*
(see the description of the <A HREF=../../common/index.html>common GUI code</A>
for more information on available graphics support).
For Linux* and OS X* systems, the best available driver is detected automatically by the Makefile.
For Windows* systems, UI=gdi is the default GUI driver; compiling with UI=d2d may offer superior
performance, but can only be used if the Microsoft* DirectX* SDK is installed on your system
and if overlay is supported by your graphics card.
Use UI=con to build without the GUI for use in making performance measurements
<I>(strongly recommended when measuring performance or scalability; see note below)</I>.
<DT><TT>make [(above options or targets)] XARCH=x64</TT>
<DD>Build and run as above, but also specify XARCH=x64
(or XARCH=AMD64 for older compilers) when building the example on Windows* as a 64-bit binary.
<DT><TT>make [(above options or targets)] DDLIB_DIR=&lt;<I>specify path to library directory of Direct Draw* SDK here</I>&gt;</TT>
<DD>If you experience ddraw.lib linking problems, specify the correct library directory via this option.
<DT><TT>make [(above options or targets)] CXXFLAGS=-DX_FULLSYNC</TT>
<DD>Build and run as above, but enable full X11 synchronization if you experience "tearing" of motion on slower video systems.
</DL>
<H2>Usage</H2>
<DL>
<DT><TT>seismic <I>-h</I></TT>
<DD>Prints the help for command line options
<DT><TT>seismic [<I>n-of-threads</I>=value] [<I>n-of-frames</I>=value] [<I>silent</I>] [<I>serial</I>]</TT>
<DT><TT>seismic [<I>n-of-threads</I> [<I>n-of-frames</I>]] [<I>silent</I>] [<I>serial</I>]</TT>
<DD><I>n-of-threads</I> is the number of threads to use; a range of the form low[:high], where low and optional high are non-negative integers or 'auto' for the TBB default.<BR>
<I>n-of-frames</I> is a number of frames the example processes internally.<BR>
<I>silent</I> - no output except elapsed time.<BR>
<I>serial</I> - in GUI mode start with serial version of algorithm.<BR>
<DT>To run a short version of this example, e.g., for use with Intel&reg; Parallel Inspector::
<DD>Build a <I>debug</I> version of the example
(see the <A HREF=../../index.html#build>build directions</A>).
<BR>Run it with the desired number of threads and smaller number of frames, e.g., <TT>seismic 4 5</TT>.
</DL>
<H2>Hot keys</H2>
The following hot keys can be used in interactive execution mode when the example is compiled with the graphical
user interface:
<DL>
<dt>&lt;left mouse button&gt;
<dd>Starts new seismic wave in place specified by mouse cursor.
<dt>&lt;space&gt;
<dd>Toggles between parallel and serial execution modes.
<dt>&lt;p&gt;
<dd>Enables parallel execution mode.
<dt>&lt;s&gt;
<dd>Enables serial execution mode.
<dt>&lt;e&gt;
<dd>Enables screen updates.
<dt>&lt;d&gt;
<dd>Disables screen updates <I>(strongly recommended when measuring performance or scalability; see note below)</I>.
<dt>&lt;esc&gt;
<dd>Stops execution.
</DL>
<H2>Notes</H2>
<UL>
<LI>While running with the GUI display turned on should yield reasonable performance in most cases, <I>running with the GUI
display turned off is strongly recommended</I> in order to demonstrate the full performance and scalability of the example.
