⁠MILC | openEuler

Current MILC docker images are built on the openEuler⁠. This repository is free to use and exempted from per-user rate limits.

The MILC Code is a body of high performance research software written in C (with some C++) for doing SU(3) lattice gauge theory on high performance computers as well as single-processor workstations. A wide variety of applications are included, such as the RHMC algorithm for HISQ fermions (su3_rhmd_hisq).

⁠Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

The tag of each milc docker image is consist of the version of milc and the version of basic image. The details are as follows

⁠Usage

Here, users can select the corresponding {Tag} by their requirements.

• Pull the openeuler/milc image from docker

  docker pull openeuler/milc:{Tag}
  

  Copy

• Start a milc instance

  docker run -it --rm openeuler/milc:{Tag}
  

  Copy

• Run MILC program (example with su3_rhmd_hisq using 4 MPI processes)

  cd /opt/milc_qcd/build/ks_imp_rhmc
  mpirun --allow-run-as-root -np 4 ./su3_rhmd_hisq
  

  Copy

  Note: MILC programs require input parameter files. Users need to prepare appropriate input files for their specific physics problems.
