Hey all,
The calendar shows the day to be the 23rd of May and so officially we have slided into the first week of coding, well.. we are towards the end of first week!!
My immediate target for the week is to implement the spherical harmonic function with the existing 'lpmv' function rather than the 'lpmn' because the latter at present calculates the associated Legendre polynomial iteratively for all degrees and orders less then m and n. We aim to remove the redundancy by adopting lpmv instead of lpmn.
And also the aim is to write the entire sph_harmonic function in cython to improve the speed and accuracy.

Having seen a first benchmark (waaay faster), I would suggest to add a benchmark to this or your next post once the improvement is merged. Always fun to see huge speedup:)
ReplyDeleteYeah! Just few more tweaks to be done and I shall push it tonight! :D.
