Carlo.jl: A general framework for Monte Carlo simulations in Julia

Abstract

Carlo.jl is a Monte Carlo simulation framework written in Julia. It provides MPI-parallel scheduling, organized storage of input, checkpoint, and output files, as well as statistical postprocessing. With a minimalist design, it aims to aid the development of high-quality Monte Carlo codes, especially for demanding applications in condensed matter and statistical physics. This hands-on user guide shows how to implement a simple code with Carlo.jl and provides benchmarks to show its efficacy.
