Third party software and other licenses

We include a list of (GPL-) compatible third party software for the sake of an easier install of PIConGPU. Contributions to these parts of the repository should not be made in the thirdParty/ directory but in their according repositories (that we import).

  • thirdParty/mallocMC: mallocMC is a fast memory allocator for many core accelerators and was originally forked from the ScatterAlloc project. It is licensed under the MIT License. Please visit https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/mallocMC for further details and contributions.

  • thirdParty/cmake-modules: we published a set of useful CMake modules that are not in the CMake mainline under the ISC license at https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/cmake-modules for contributions or inclusion in PIConGPU and other projects.

  • thirdParty/cuda_memtest: CUDA MemTest is an independent program developed by the University Illinois, published under the Illinois Open Source License. Please refer to the file thirdParty/cuda_memtest/README for license information. We redistribute this modified version of CUDA MemTest under the same license thirdParty/cuda_memtest/README. The original release was published at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cudagpumemtest and our modified version is hosted at https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/cuda_memtest for further reference.

  • thirdParty/alpaka: The alpaka library is a header-only C++17 abstraction library for accelerator development.
    It aims to provide performance portability across accelerators through the abstraction (not hiding!) of the underlying levels of parallelism. Please visit https://github.com/alpaka-group/alpaka for further details and contributions.

  • thirdParty/nlohmann_json: nlohmann_json is a modern C++ library for working with JSON data, developed by Niels Lohmann, published under the MIT License. Please refer to the file thirdParty/nlohmann_json/LICENSE.MIT for license information. Please visit https://github.com/nlohmann/json for further details and contributions.
