What is montage-gridtools
montage-gridtools is:
Montage is a toolkit for assembling astronomical images into custom mosaics.
This package contains modules that can generate a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) representation of the mosaicking process for a set of on-line surveys (e.g., 2MASS). This information is fed to the Pegasus software from ISI (the Information Sciences Institute), which produces processing plans for Condor (or Condor-G on the Teragrid).
These modules should be considered prototypes: they have been used extensively but have not been subject to the same rigorous testing to which the core modules have been subjected. Users should contact Montage ([email protected]) before employing them to verify limitations in their use and changes in the interfaces.
