### LOCALDEF files
LOCALDEF files (short LOCALDEFs) is a bundle of three files per system specification. It consists of the files
- `<nodename>`
- `<nodename>_input_architecture`
- `<nodename>_input_display`
`<nodename>` is the nodename of your computer, if the nodename has some '.'s in it, the only used name is the one before the first '.'.
## The Files
### `<nodename>`
In nodename all compiling and runtime attributes are set. E.g. the Compiler, Flags, OpenMP-Variables and so on
### `<nodename>_input_architecture`
In this file all architecture information is written, which is used for comparing different results on our website and in the GUI.
To receive information about your system, you may use tools like `hwinfo` or `lshw`
Both, `hwinfo` and `lshw` are placed in the directory `/usr/sbin` (by default) and should be run in root-mode. While the information gathered with `lshw` is large, the output of `hwinfo` is collosal. To avoid "unnecessary" output, use the flags `--cpu` (for CPU-Infos), `--bios` (for Cache-Infos) and `--memory` (for Memory-infos).
### `<nodename>_input_display`
This file contains information about how the results should be plotted with `gnuplot`.
