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. + +## Installation and usage + +See the [documentation](https://lspestrip.github.io/Stripeline.jl/latest). + +## License + +Stripeline is released under the MIT license. ## How to contribute
