CMBFAST

Cosmology

CMBFAST is a computer code in physical cosmology for computing anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background. Written by Uroš Seljak and Matias Zaldarriaga, it was the first efficient program for this task. Its semi-analytic line-of-sight approach reduced computation time from several days to a few minutes.
