CosmoMC is a Fortran 2008 Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) engine for exploring cosmological parameter space, together with Fortran and Python code for analyzing Monte-Carlo samples and importance sampling.

For basic usage of the console environment, check the Terminal application.

Getting started

The software is installed in /opt/CosmoMC. This folder should be copied inside the default workspace /work and imported when submitting new jobs, in case it is necessary to preserve changes in the configuration scripts.

The Planck likelihood code is installed /opt/plc-3.01. The full Planck data chains can be downloaded here.

For a simple test, run the code:

$ cd /opt/CosmoMC
$ mpirun -np 7 cosmomc test.ini

Initialization

For information on how to use the Initialization parameter, please refer to the Initialization - Bash script section of the documentation.
