Next generation of the STRIP pipeline, written in Julia (see here for the previous version, written in Python).
Early in 2018, we decided to rewrite the STRIP simulation pipeline in Julia because of the following issues with the old version:
- Significant amount of memory was required
- Code was quite verbose
- In order to improve the execution speed, we had to implement a few routines in Fortran: this meant that the code was harder to read, as knowledge of two languages (Fortran+Python) was required.
This new version of the pipeline should require less memory and perform somewhat faster, although full-scale benchmarks have yet to be done. It is far more advanced than the older pipeline, as the instrument database is updated and a destriper is already implemented.
