+Settings
+==================
+For examples on how to build and run the code, see the visual studio tasks (.vscode/tasks.json)
+
+Set the compile flag `SINGLENODE` for running sequentially
+
+Set the compile flag `COMMUNICATION` for running parallel
 
 Using shell-commands
 ==================
-When started from the main folder
-scripts/build_make.sh builds and compiles different versions
-parallel or multiple: Version for multiple nodes
-parallel-collectives or multiple-collectives: Version for multiple nodes with MPI Collectives where possible
-sequential or single: Version for a single node, the sequential algorithm

+Data
+==================
+A raw data set can be loaded with `inputMode 3` (see task _isotroph_). An average and rms value need to be specified.
 
+Random data is sampled for `inputMode 20`
