HEALPix Viewer visualizes spherical map data in HEALPix format. HEALPix by Górski et al. (2005) is de-facto standard for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data storage and analysis, and is widely used in current and upcoming CMB experiments. Almost all the datasets in Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA) use HEALPix as a format of choice. HEALPix Viewer takes full advantage of GPU acceleration to visualize extremely large datasets in real time.
