Commands that have been tested for Pelegant

In addition to tracking, the following features of elegant may be used in the parallel version:

1. Optimization with tracking. In this case, user can choose the optimization to be supervised at the serial level or parallel level, while the tracking is done in parallel.
2. Computation and output of Twiss parameters and transport matrices along a beamline.
3. Computation and output of beam statistics along a beamline.
4. Alteration of element properties, loading of element parameters from external files, and transmutation of element types.
5. Scanning of element properties in loops. In this case, the scanning is supervised at the serial level while the tracking is done in parallel.
6. Use of internally-generated or externally-supplied particle distributions.
7. Addition of random errors to accelerator components.
8. Computation and output of closed orbits.
