A performant, scalable, and machine-portable Monte Carlo radiation transport code.
Project description
MC/DC: Monte Carlo Dynamic Code
MC/DC is an open-source, Python-based Monte Carlo radiation transport code that combines rapid methods development with scalable, high-performance execution on modern computing systems. Originally initiated by the Center for Exascale Monte Carlo Neutron Transport (CEMeNT), MC/DC development is now led by the Center for Advancing the Radiation Resilience of Electronics (CARRE).
Features
- Monte Carlo neutron transport (with photon and charged-particle capabilities under development)
- Time-dependent, steady-state, and eigenvalue simulations
- Multiple physics fidelities (continuous-energy/multi-group, single-scattering/condensed-history)
- Distributed-memory parallel execution with MPI
- Machine-portable Python implementation accelerated by Numba JIT compilation
- Extensible architecture for rapid methods development and prototyping
Installation
Install the latest stable release from PyPI:
pip install mcdc
For development installation and additional options, see the Installation Guide.
