The spherical harmonic transform is a powerful tool in the analysis of spherical data sets, such as the cosmic microwave background data. In this work, we present a new scheme for the spherical harmonic transforms that supports both CPU and GPU computations, which is specially efficient on a large number of sky maps. By comparing our implementation with the standard Libsharp-HEALPix program, we demonstrate 2-10 times speedup for the CPU implementation, and up to 30 times speedup when a state-of-the-art GPU is employed. This new scheme's software package is available via an open source GitHub repository.

  1. Simulating Partial Sky Cosmic Microwave Background Maps with 3D Fast Fourier Transforms

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 3D fast Fourier transform method with a linear-programming-derived power spectrum simulates CMB maps on partial-sky patches, with operation-count scaling suggesting speed advantages over HEALPix for some survey sizes.
