An extensible MCMC framework for 21cmFAST.
This code uses semantic versioning <https://semver.org>
_, though this will strictly
begin when v1.0.0
is officially shipped.

This plot shows the number of test models (see details here <https://github.com/21cmfast/21CMMC/issues/50/#issuecomment-1091391508>
) performed using the MultiNest sampler as a function of thread number, illustrating an almost ideal scalability where #model per human hour scales linearly with #thread. There are three runs for each thread number, which are indicated by the filled circles with errorbar. The double sided arrows show the relative (w.r.t. the 24-thread case) loss when scaling up the calculation. Note that a typical inference study, working with more complex models and therefore performing much fewer models per human hour, is expected to remain the same level of scalability.
