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:

#!sh

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

The UPC++ commands inside the container are upcxx (compiler wrapper) and upcxx-run (run wrapper), and the home directory contains some example codes. Note this container is designed for test-driving UPC++ on a single node, and is not intended for long-term development or use in production environments.
