TipTop v1.3.33, P3 v1.4.13 are here! 🎉

This release improves memory usage in P3, especially in the aliasing PSD computation that previously dominated memory in large simulations.

✨ What’s new

  • Improved memory management in the p3.ao.fourierModel module: more intermediate variables are now released via the reduce_memory option (enabled by default in TipTop).

  • Reworked aliasing PSD computation with more memory-efficient array handling.

👉 Heavy TipTop/P3 cases that previously required large amounts of RAM should now run more easily and reliably.

Update now and enjoy the latest enhancements 🚀

Check it out on PyPI 👉 astro-tiptop, astro-p3

On January 26, 2026, the TipTop team was delighted to take part in a dedicated TipTop Meeting held at ESO Headquarters in Garching.

This meeting was a great opportunity to bring together developers and ESO stakeholders to discuss the current status of TipTop, its ongoing integration into ESO tools for observation preparation, and the exciting perspectives for future use, including upcoming instruments and the ELT. We also had fruitful discussions on possible improvements and new use cases for the tool.

👉 More details about the meeting, its scope, and context are available here: https://www.eso.org/sci/meetings/2026/tiptop.html
