| | 14 | * Numerous meetings with Conrad and Jim regarding data integrity, speed etc |
| | 15 | * Now able to churn out data in bulk - speed seen as a real issue (up to 10 minutes to create FITS detections from a 'busy' smf source) |
| | 16 | * Re-wrote FITS I/O stuff to use cfitsio directly, rather than psLib. Now more than twice as fast: remaining bottleneck is access to DVO db |
| | 17 | * Worked with Conrad on his 'dxlayer' including: |
| | 18 | * wrote fast code to convert FITS extensions to csv files using the low-level 'bulk copy' cfitsio functions (under 10secs for 70Mb FITS, which take minutes to write) |
