Summary Of Simulation Steps
=============================

In summary to perform a py4mulas transport simulation we go through the following steps:

Serial
------

1) **Define a periodic hamiltonian**

2) **Construct a Py4mulas model**

3) **Chose a formula** among :class:`~py4mulas.responses.Kubo`, :class:`~py4mulas.responses.SecondOrderKubo`

4) **Chose the appropriate kernel** among :class:`~py4mulas.energy_kernels.KuboKernel`, :class:`~py4mulas.energy_kernels.KuboBestinKernel`

5) **Define operators** from :mod:`~py4mulas.operators`

6) **Harness results** by calling formula with transport parameters (mu, temperature, eta)

1)-5) **Similarly**

6) **Chose an Executor**

7) **Chose a computer** depending on what you compute with respect to. Computers are:

   * :mod:`~py4mulas.mpi.computers.MuTEtaComputer`: if variables among mu, T, eta are to be varied
   * :mod:`~py4mulas.mpi.computers.HamParamComputer`: if Hamiltonian parameters are to be varied

8) **Harness results** by calling formula with transport parameters (mu, temperature, eta)
