Description: Fast generic widefield interferometric imager
WSClean (w-stacking clean) is a fast generic widefield imager. It uses the
w-stacking algorithm and can make use of the w-snapshot algorithm. As of
Feb 2014, it is 2-12 times faster than CASA's w-projection, depending on the
array configuration. It supports full-sky imaging and proper beam correction
for homogeneous dipole arrays such as the MWA.
.
WSClean allows Hogbom and Cotton-Schwab cleaning, and can clean polarizations
joinedly. All operations are performed on the CPU (it is not specialized for
GPUs).
