Preparation

First install nvidia-docker for your distribution. Use version 2 or newer.

Install

The download of a pre-configured image with the latest version of PIConGPU is now as easy as:

docker pull ax3l/picongpu

Use PIConGPU

Start a pre-configured LWFA live-simulation with

docker run --runtime=nvidia -p 2459:2459 -t ax3l/picongpu /bin/bash -lc start_lwfa
# open firefox and isaac client

or just open the container and run your own:

docker run --runtime=nvidia -it ax3l/picongpu

Note

PIConGPU can also run without a GPU! We will provide more image variants in the future.
