Effort.jl

Effort is a Julia package designed to emulate the computation of the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structure, as computed by PyBird. An emulator is a surrogate model, a computational technique that can mimick the behaviour of computationally expensive functions, with a speedup of several orders of magnitude.

The example page shows how to use Effort, while showing its computational performance.
