Next generation of the STRIP pipeline, written in [Julia](https://julialang.org)
(see [here](https://github.com/lspestrip/stipelinepy) 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:

1. Significant amount of memory was required
2. Code was quite verbose
3. 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.
This repository contains the LSPE/Strip simulation pipeline. LSPE/Strip is
a CMB microwave telescope to be installed at the Teide Observatory in
Tenerife. Stripeline is an instrument simulator that models the scanning
strategy of the telecope and the response of the detectors, up to the creation
of frequency maps.

Stripeline is written in [Julia](https://julialang.org). The current version
requires Julia 1.3 or higher.
