Exploiting such a non-Gaussian galaxy density field requires measuring higher-order correlation functions, or, its Fourier counterpart, polyspectra. Here, we present an efficient parallel algorithm for estimating higher-order polyspectra. Based upon the Scoccimarro estimator, the estimator avoids direct sampling of polygons by using the Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT), and the parallelization overcomes the large memory requirement of the original estimator. In particular, we design the memory layout to minimize the inter-CPU communications, which excels in the code performance.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1904.11055v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.11055v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"190411055","repo_url":"https://github.com/JosephTomlinson/PolyspectrumEstimator","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
