+If you use MFC, consider citing it as below.
+Ref. 1 includes all modern MFC features, including GPU acceleration and many new physics features.
+If referencing MFC's (GPU) performance, consider citing ref. 1 and 2, which describe the solver and how it was crafted.
+The original open-source release of MFC is ref. 3, which should be cited for provenance as appropriate.
