heyoka 3.2.0

[bluescarni]

This new release of heyoka comes packed with several new features and enhancements.

Support for single-precision computations

In addition to extended and arbitrary precision computations, heyoka now supports also single-precision computations via the float type. Single-precision computations can lead to substantial performance benefits, especially in batch mode and/or low-accuracy applications. See the single-precision tutorial for a usage example.

ELP2000 model

heyoka now includes an implementation of the ELP2000 lunar theory. It is thus now possible to formulate systems of differential equations with the time-dependent geocentric lunar position appearing in the right-hand side. See the tutorial for an introduction.

Low-precision vector math

When the fast_math option is active, heyoka now employs lower-precision vector implementations of elementary functions, which can lead to substantial speedups in low-accuracy applications. The speedup is particularly visible when using single precision in AI and ML applications.
