Abstract:
We describe the computational infrastructure for end-to-end Bayesian Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) analysis implemented
by the BeyondPlanck collaboration. The code is called Commander3. It provides a statistically consistent framework for global
analysis of CMB and microwave observations and may be useful for a wide range of legacy, current, and future experiments. The
paper has three main goals. Firstly, we provide a high-level overview of the existing code base, aiming to guide readers who wish
to extend and adapt the code according to their own needs or re-implement it from scratch in a di erent programming language.
Secondly, we discuss some critical computational challenges that arise within any global CMB analysis framework, for instance inmemory
compression of time-ordered data, fast Fourier transform optimization, and parallelization and load-balancing. Thirdly, we
quantify the CPU and RAM requirements for the current BeyondPlanck analysis, finding that a total of 1.5 TB of RAM is required
for e cient analysis and that the total cost of a full Gibbs sample for LFI is 170 CPU-hrs, including both low-level processing and
high-level component separation, which is well within the capabilities of current low-cost computing facilities. The existing code base
is made publicly available under a GNU General Public Library (GPL) license.
