Motivation
----------

The aim of the CMB DA library is to provide high performance, massively parallel, and 
portable analysis tools suitable for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data analysis 
and thus addressing the existing gap between the low level numerical libraries, such as 
FFTW, SCALAPACK, LAPACK, PLASMA, etc, and high level tools needed to analyze actual CMB data.

The library is designed to provide all essential functionality needed for the CMB data analysis.
It will include new algorithm solutions and their implementation, capable of dealing with the 
huge data volumes, while giving the user flexibility in constructing their own codes
according to their preferences and instrument and data characteristics.

The library comes with example codes stored in the directory 'test'. Notably, since version 2.0 
these include a fully-fledged, massively parallel map-making code, MAPPRAISER.

Getting some more information
-----------------------------

You can download the last release from github: https://github.com/B3Dcmb/midapack 

and find an online manual (currently only available for version 1.1b) at: https://b3dcmb.github.io/midapack/

The novel features of version 2.0 are described in detail in the MAPPRAISER software release paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.03370

Project collaborators

How to use it
-------------

This software is reported to work on several Linux distributions and should work on any
modern Unix-like system after minimal porting efforts.

The source code is delivered in a set of directories:

- The /src directory contains the sources files for the core low-level library. It's composed by the
differents modules of the Midapack library (please refer to the website for more details). 
You can directly compile theses files and link the generated binaries with your own program.

- The /test directory contains some Utility/demonstration programs to show some examples of
how to use the library fonctionnalities. It also contains the MAPPRAISER package found under the /mapmaking directory.

For more details please check:

- The MAPPRAISER software release paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.03370
