[auton-users] fds format

[nichol]

Hi All,

I just started a massive computation on loki where I'm trying to compute
the correlation function of 17 million dark matter particles using our npt
code (no-one has ever done this!).

Unfortunately, just reading in the data from ascii files takes 15mins!
I believe the npt code takes a faster file format (fds)? How much 
would that save me?

Would someone do me a huge favor and run a convert on the files? They are
in:

/mnt/BigPapa/home/nichol/npt/GIFparticles

randomcatgif.dat and GIF_LCDM_z0.0.pos

Cheers

Bob
