Description
FITS files are the output format planned for PST timing products, specifically the PSRFITS implementation. The cfitsio library, which is the standard library used to create and access FITS files, suffers from performance issues for certain dimensionalities, due to the file access pattern used. This feature will investigate and quantify potential PSRFITS performance issues, and determine the most appropriate course of action to minimise the risk of I/O performance issues when working with PST timing data products.
