  • You can now use the EveryBeam package to create a LOFAR, OSKAR, or MWA primary beam. You need an appropriate measurement set as an input to run EveryBeam. See the LOFAR examples on the examples page to see how things are run
  • EveryBeam runs on the CPU. These calculations happen as each skymodel chunk is read in. As a result, WODEN is now multi-threaded at this stage to try and speed things up, and will default to using as many cores as it can find. To revert to old behaviour, run with --num_threads=1
  • Never fear, you don't have to use EveryBeam. WODEN uses the Everybeam Python wrapper. If you don't want to install EveryBeam, WODEN just checks it exists at run time, and if it doesn't, WODEN ignores it entirely. Unless you ask it to run an EveryBeam primary beam, then WODEN will refuse and you'll be sad.
  • More details and integration tests can be found on the EveryBeam testing page
