MC/DC: Monte Carlo Dynamic Code

MC/DC logo

Build Docker Build, Test, and Publish Read the Docs PyPI DOI License

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.
