pineko = PineAPPL + eko
pineko converts
interpolation grids for theory predictions (grids for short) in the form of pineappl grids, together with
EKO generated by eko
into fast-kernel (FK) tables. The collection of all FK tables constitute the theory predictions for a PDF fit and therefore is often simply called theory.
pineko is:
open-source - allowing a community effort for writing a new generation of tools for PDF fits
written in Python - opting for a popular, high-level language to facilitate other authors to participate in the project
part of the N3PDF software compendium for HEP theory: eko, banana, pineappl and yadism
pineko replaces APFELcomb , which was used up to NNPDF4.0.
