In many cases, before submission of computation to hpc queue system, we would like to check the correctness of various settings to minimize the risk of job failure. W-SLDA Toolkit provides a set of extensions that can be used for testing the settings. To build these tools, execute in your project folder:

make ext

The command will compile selected tools from extensions, namely:

tool name	scope	description	execution
`solve-uniform`	`st`,`td`	The code solves uniform problem according settings provided in the input file.	`./solve-uniform input.txt`
`test-external-potentials`	`st`	The code evaluates external potentials according problem-definition.h file and saves them to W-DATA format. Next, the potentials can be inspected by VisIt.	`./test-external-potentials input.txt`

The tools are not computationally intensive. You can execute them from login code.
