<h1>Programming in the <em>Quantum Package</em><a class="headerlink" href="#programming-in-the-qp" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>To program in the <em>Quantum Package</em>, it is required that you are familiar with the <a class="reference external" href="http://irpf90.ups-tlse.fr">IRPF90</a>
code generator. A GitBook can be found <a class="reference external" href="http://scemama.gitbooks.io/irpf90">here</a>,
and programmers are encouraged to visit this manual.</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="http://irpf90.ups-tlse.fr">IRPF90</a> make programming very simple. The only information a programmer needs
in order to write a new program is the name of the required <a class="reference external" href="http://irpf90.ups-tlse.fr">IRPF90</a> entities
which may already exist in other modules. For example, writing a program which
prints the Hartree-Fock energy is as simple as:</p>
<div class="code fortran highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>program print_hf_energy
implicit none
BEGIN_DOC
! Program which prints the Hartree-Fock energy
! to the standard output
END_DOC
print *, &#39;HF energy = &#39;, HF_energy
end
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The only required information was the existence of a provider for
<strong class="command">hf_energy</strong>. A detailed list of all the providers, subroutines
and functions of the <em>Quantum Package</em> can be found in the appendix of this manual.</p>
<div class="section" id="architecture">
<h2>Architecture<a class="headerlink" href="#architecture" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>As <a class="reference external" href="http://irpf90.ups-tlse.fr">IRPF90</a> is used, the programmer doesnt have a full control of the sequence
of instructions in the produced Fortran code. This explains why the input data
is stored in a database rather than in sequential text files. Indeed, the
programmer cant know by advance in which order the files will be read, so a
simple random access to persistent data is needed. The <a class="reference external" href="http://gitlab.com/scemama/EZFIO">EZFIO</a> library generator
is a practical answer to this problem.</p>
<p>The <em>Quantum Package</em> uses a collection of programs inter-operating together. Each of these
programs is reading and/or modifying information in the <a class="reference external" href="http://gitlab.com/scemama/EZFIO">EZFIO</a> database.
This is done mostly using the command line or scripting.</p>
<div class="admonition important">
<p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>
<p class="last">Each command modifies the state of the <a class="reference external" href="http://gitlab.com/scemama/EZFIO">EZFIO</a> database, so running twice the
same program on the same database may have different behaviors because of the
state of the database. For reproducibility, users are encouraged to run scripts
where a fresg new <a class="reference external" href="http://gitlab.com/scemama/EZFIO">EZFIO</a> database is created at the beginning of the
script. This way of running the <em>Quantum Package</em> makes calculations reproducible.</p>
</div>
<p>The computational part <em>Quantum Package</em> is organized in <strong>modules</strong>. A module is a
directory which contains multiple <a class="reference external" href="http://irpf90.ups-tlse.fr">IRPF90</a> files, a <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">README.rst</span></code> and a <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEED</span></code> file.</p>
<p>The <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">README.rst</span></code> file contains documentation about the module, that is
automatically included in the documentation of the <em>Quantum Package</em>. The documentation is
generated by the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sphinx-doc.org">Sphinx documentation builder</a>,
and it should be written using the <abbr title="ReStructured Text">RST</abbr> format.</p>
<p>The <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEED</span></code> file contains the list of the modules which are needed for the
current module. When a module is needed, it means that all the <a class="reference external" href="http://irpf90.ups-tlse.fr">IRPF90</a> files
it contains should be included in the current module. This is done
automatically during the building process, by creating symbolic links in the
current directory.</p>
<p>To compile the program, the <a class="reference external" href="https://ninja-build.org/">Ninja</a> build system is used, and all the building
process is fully automated such that the programmer will never have to modify a
file by hand. Running <strong class="command">ninja</strong> inside a module will compile only the
module, and running <strong class="command">ninja</strong> at the root of the <em>Quantum Package</em> will build all the
modules, as well as the tools.</p>
