Description

Showcase how to use jax functionality in jax galsim, specifically:

  • jitting
  • vmapping
  • gradients

Potential cool extensions (potentially other demos)

  • Derivatives with respect to shear d Image / d Shear
  • running gradient based samplers with jax-galsim (eg blackjax, numpyro)
  • jax metacal (see unit test)
  • full stamp image drawing with jax galsim (see unit test)
