-For convenience we also set our current namespace to Auryn's namespace.+For convenience we also set our current namespace to Auryn's namespace. You also might want to specify an output directory, a simulation name and maybe the name of the logfile. All these information can be passed as additional parameters to [[http://fzenke.net/auryn/doxygen/current/auryn__global_8cpp.html|auryn_init]]. This hasn't been done here for simplicity.

 One comment is in order: Writing output to disk is computationally expensive. It's often possible to speed up a simulation substantially by reducing the amount of data that's saved. Choose the variables you want to record carefully and you will be rewarded with code that runs much faster. One comment is in order: Writing output to disk is computationally expensive.

 Now all that's left to do is to tell the Auryn kernel how long we want to run our simulation. Let's say we want to run for 2 seconds. We write: Now all that's left to do is to tell the Auryn kernel how long we want to run our simulation. Let's say we want to run for 2 seconds. We write:
