Now builds clean on MSVC: cl version 19.51.36260 for x64, from Visual
Studio 2026 Build Tools 18.10.3.
Major items:
- [[maybe_unused]] instead of gcc/clang specific pragmas
- Removed names variables that weren't used
- Cast + explicit uing64
Collection of fixes to make aare build on Windows. Requires the previous
PRs for compilation to succeed.
- Replaced `or` keyword with ||
- updated cmake file
- fix for 32 bit long in fseek
closes #395
closes #396
- Introduce a standard way to bind numpy arrays: py::array_t<T> and
.noconvert() on the argument
- Take py::array_t by value since it's just a small wrapper
- Update bindings
Cleaned up the helper functions by:
- Added template for make_view (and new make_const_view) instead of the
copy paste implementation
- checks c_style and dimensions inside make_view
- test binding to be able to probe the checks in make_view
Call sites can be reviewed in a second PR since usage of const or
strictness of conversion depends...
- Default `ClusterVector` move operations simplifying the code and
fixing a bug.
- Fixed inconsistent frame number type (uint64/int32)
- Validate Python masks as one-dimensional, C-contiguous Boolean arrays,
handle empty masks safely, and reserve filtered storage based on the
selected cluster count.
- Align the C++ and Python API documentation with the implementation,
including concise `hitmap` and reduction documentation and a correctly
rendered constructor example.
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
- 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

Changes to be able to run the example notebooks:
- Invert gain map on setting (multiplication is faster but user supplies
ADU/energy)
- Cast after applying gain map not to loose precision (Important for
int32 clusters)
- "factor" for ClusterFileSink
- Cluster size available to be able to create the right file sink
