Description
The iterative calibration (ICAL) pipelines for Low and Mid have been developed as two independent products while their overall structure is fundamentally the same. Both developed pipelines have their own strengths. The Low pipeline is feature complete as demonstrated by processing actual LOFAR data, while the Mid pipeline is more mature in terms of configuring a multi-node compute environment and providing a mechanisme to define / configure the pipeline tasks. The teams have been exchanging these ideas, but this unavoidably results in code-duplication and duplicate efforts. Given that the intrinsic structure (iterative self-calibration loop) of both pipelines is the same, the aim is to combine both pipelines into a single ICAL pipeline that can process both Low and Mid data depending on how it si configured.
This pipeline should be released so that end-users like domain specialists, system scientists and commissioning scientists can start exercising the pipeline and provide feedback to inform further evolution / development of the ICAL pipeline.
