Hi everyone,
I just finished off a PR I started quite a while ago to make some
substantial improvements to the HaloCatalog in the yt_astro_analysis
package. The major updates are:
- support for halo finding on a time-series for all halo finders (fof,
hop, and rockstar). You no longer have to run the RockstarHaloFinder
separately or call HaloCatalog in a loop for hop/fof.
- the loop over all halos in HaloCatalog now happens one io chunk at a
time, instead of just querying ds.all_data(). This happens only on
the root process now, significantly reducing io and time to being
iterating.
- vastly updated halo finding documentation.
If anyone would like to offer comments on this, please find the pull
Thanks!
