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 has wideband, multiscale, compressed sensing and joined-polarization deconvolution modes. All operations are performed on the CPU.

Paessler - Monitor Your Whole Network in Minutes

Auto-discovery finds your devices and deploys pre-configured sensors instantly. No project plan required, just visibility from day one.

Waiting weeks for a monitoring rollout isn't an option when infrastructure doesn't stop running. PRTG's auto-discovery scans your network and suggests from over 200 pre-configured sensor types, so you're watching servers, applications and devices within minutes, not after a multi-week deployment. Enterprise-strength monitoring, without the enterprise complexity. Start your free trial today.
