Improve performance of `predict_passes()` #3

Closed samtx closed 4 years ago

samtx commented 4 years ago

The predict_passes() function is the real-time computation of satellite overpasses over a location assuming that the satellite ECEF position vectors have already been computed and cached.

We could potentially use Cython or c-extensions to improve speed of matrix operations.

samtx commented 4 years ago

The realtime computation function is now called find_overpasses() in the predictions.py module.

Peformance of real-time compute is now about 65 ms. Can possibly improve performance by wrapping functions with Cython and reducing memory consumption. Closing.
