# Output Files

POET will place all simulation data and other files inside the given
`<OUTPUT_DIRECTORY>`. The directory will look like this:

``` {.example}
.
└── <OUTPUT_DIRECTORY>/
    ├── iter000.rds
    ├── iter000.dht
    ├── ...
    ├── iter<n>.rds
    ├── iter<n>.dht
    ├── setup.rds
    └── timings.rds
```

## Description

All `.rds` file can be read into an R runtime using e.g.
`readRDS("<FILE>")`. The following description can be given to the
files:

| File          | Description                                                                                                       |
|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| iter<*n*>.rds | Defines the state of the grid after *n* iteration, especially the state after transport (`T`) and chemistry (`C`) |
| iter<*n*>.dht | DHT-snapshot of the *n* th iteration                                                                              |
| setup.rds     | Summary of all simulation parameters given at startup                                                             |
| timings.rds   | Various measured timings by POET                                                                                  |

## Timings

POET provides built-in time measurements of (sub) routines. The
corresponding values can be found in `<OUTPUT_DIRECTORY>/timings.rds`
and possible to read out within a R runtime with
`readRDS("timings.rds")`. There you will find the following values:

| Value     | Description                                                                |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| simtime   | time spent in whole simulation loop without any initialization and cleanup |
| chemistry | measured time in *chemistry* subroutine                                    |
| diffusion | measured time in *diffusion* subroutine                                    |

| sequential    | sequential part of the master (e.g. shuffling field)      |
| idle\_master  | idling time of the master waiting for workers             |
| idle\_worker  | idling time (waiting for work from master) of the workers |
| phreeqc\_time | accumulated times for Phreeqc calls of every worker       |

#### DHT usage

If running in parallel and with activated DHT, two more timings and also
some profiling about the DHT usage are given:
