Optimized pedestal tracking with FastPedestal and performance improvements to the cluster finder.
- ~2x faster hitting 14k FPS on benchmark dataset on 16 core threadripper pro
**Changes**
- No bounds check on interior of frame. (only within half of a cluster)
(~15% improvement)
- Cache threshold (std*n_rms) Biggest improvement comes from not
computing std for each access
- Cache pedestal subtracted frame
- Switched to FastPedestal which assumes we reached steady state
**Things tried but rejected:**
- Always store cluster values, commit on val==max (~15% drop in frame
rate)
**Options**
- using 16 bit clusters and 16 bit pedestal. (slows down the single
threaded case but allow us to reach 12k with multi threading)
**Other notes on performance**
- Passing in memory frames from python and doing nothing: 0.8us/frame
- Passing + pedestal subtraction: 28us/frame
- Passing + pedestal + cluster finding (no store): 652us/frame
- Passing + pedestal + cluster finding: 886 us/frame
- Reading files from nfs shares tops out at ~1GB/s for single threaded
reads.
- MultiThreadedFileReader uses our File wrapper to read a generic file
in parallel
- Placed in aare::experimental to show that it's not production ready
Multi threaded filling of per pixel histograms for example for detector calibration
1. PixelHistogram - Generic variant expects already pedestal subtracted
data
2. PedestalTrackingHistogram - Terrible name, useful class. Keeps it's
own pedestal and does conversion and pedestal tracking in the worker
threads.

To improve codebase quality and reduce human error, this PR introduces
the pre-commit framework. This ensures that all code adheres to project
standards before it is even committed, maintaining a consistent style
and catching common mistakes early.
Key Changes:
- Code Formatting: Automated C++ formatting using clang-format (based on
the project's .clang-format file).
- Syntax Validation: Basic checks for file integrity and syntax.
- Spell Check: Automated scanning for typos in source code and comments.
- CMake Formatting: Standardization of CMakeLists.txt and .cmake
configuration files.
- GitHub Workflow: Added a CI action that validates every Pull Request
against the pre-commit configuration to ensure compliance.
The configuration includes a [ci] block to handle automated fixes within
the PR. Currently, this is disabled. If we want the CI to automatically
commit formatting fixes back to the PR branch, this can be toggled to
true in .pre-commit-config.yaml.
```yaml
ci:
autofix_commit_msg: [pre-commit] auto fixes from pre-commit hooks
autofix_prs: false
autoupdate_schedule: monthly
```
The last large commit with the fit functions, for example, was not
formatted according to the clang-format rules. This PR would allow to
avoid similar mistakes in the future.
Python fomat with `ruff` for tests and sanitiser for `.ipynb` notebooks
can be added as well.
This PR adds support for decoding digital data from the my320 test chip.
- Added BitOffset (strong type)
- Expand 24 to 32 bit
- Python bindings for decoding my302
- Improved docs
- added rosenblatttransform
- added 3x3 eta methods
- interpolation can be used with various eta functions
- added documentation for interpolation, eta calculation
- exposed full eta struct in python
- disable ClusterFinder for 2x2 clusters
- factory function for ClusterVector

- No changes or evaluation of existing tests
- Tags for including tests that require data is changed to
**[.with-data]** and **--with-data** for C++ and python respectively
- Minor update to docs
- Added missing files to the test data repo
Added a section on the ideas behind the library and also explaining the
branching strategy.
