The goal of the MIDAS project is to provide high performance, middle-layer software tools, which would aid CMB data analysis efforts of current and planned CMB experiments to capitalize on the computational power of parallel (super)computers. The functionality provided by the library is supposed to fill in the gap in between available, low-level, high performance software packages such as Fast Fourier Transforms, dense and sparse linear algebra operations, etc, and the high-level data analysis pipelines, and thus to help the users to benefit from the former, while developing the latter in a more straightforward and transparent way. At the end of the project the library is supposed to provide functionality relevant to all main stages of the data analysis.
