CoCoA


Cobaya-Cosmolike Joint Architecture


Cocoa is a project that started a few years ago. It aims to parallelize Cosmolike and integrate it with the Cobaya MCMC framework. We sought to facilitate our research with beyond-LCDM cosmologies by combining Cosmolike's generality and speed capabilities with the many external likelihoods provided by Cobaya. A lot of exciting science came from this effort, so it has been a successful journey.

The code is hosted on Github; check the link Cocoa.

Below, we show a few pictures of CoCoA's leading developers.

We will (slowly) list and explain below the science that has benefited from CoCoA infrastructure.
