Running SPARTA

This section contains instructions for how to configure and run SPARTA. Typically, SPARTA needs to be configured both at compile-time (Compile-time settings) and at run-time (Run-time configuration parameters): the basic operations are chosen before compiling, and more detailed parameters are set at run-time.

This section also gives details about many of the operations SPARTA can perform, namely Results and Analyses.
