TipTop v1.4.0, P3 v1.5.1 and MASTSEL v1.4.3 are here! 🎉

This release introduces precision management, allowing users to trade a small amount of numerical accuracy for faster computations and lower memory usage.

✨ What’s new

  • Added precision control in the COMPUTATION section.

  • Default precision remains double precision (float64, omplex128) to ensure the same accuracy as previous versions.

  • Optional single precision mode can now be enabled (see the parameters page)

🚀 Benefits of single precision:

  • 10–20% faster computations
  • ~30% lower memory usage

Small differences in results may appear (typically 1–2% in SR), but this option is particularly useful for large simulations or memory-limited environments.

🛠️ Additional updates

  • Fixed several bugs identified during recent testing.

Update now and enjoy the latest improvements!
