Docker container with UPC++

We maintain a Linux Docker container with UPC++.

Assuming you have a Linux-compatible Docker environment, you can get a working UPC++ environment in seconds with the following command:

docker run -it --rm upcxx/linux-amd64

The container above supports the SMP and UDP backends, and does not include an MPI install. If you additionally need MPI support, there is also a larger "full" variant of the container that includes both UPC++ and MPI:

docker run -it --rm upcxx/linux-amd64-full
