Command-Line Interface
PICSLike installs a single console script, picslike-run, which evaluates the
pixel-space Gaussian log-likelihood over the parameter grid declared in the
configuration. It is on PATH after pip install picslike — no repository
checkout required.
picslike-run config.yaml
picslike-run config.yaml --out results.npz
Grid points are partitioned across MPI ranks, and because a console script is an
ordinary executable, MPI works without a python prefix:
mpirun -n 8 picslike-run config.yaml --out results.npz
Unlike QUBE there is no packaged default configuration, so the path is required.
Persistence is opt-in: without --out the grid is evaluated and the result
discarded. The command warns on completion when that is about to happen.
Command-line entry point for the PICSLike pixel-space likelihood.
picslike-run evaluates the Gaussian pixel-space log-likelihood over the

MPI ranks. Unlike QUBE there is no packaged default config, so the path is
required.
Persistence is opt-in (ADR-0015): without --out the grid is evaluated and
the result discarded, so the entry point warns rather than exit quietly.
