SFFT brings about a remarkable improvement of computational performance of around an order of magnitude compared to other published image subtraction codes.

SFFT method is the transient detection engine for several ongoing time-domain programs, including the DESIRT <https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022TNSAN.107....1P/abstract>_ survey based on DECam & DESI, the DECam GW-MMADS Survey for GW Follow-ups and the JWST Cycle 3 Archival program AR 5965 <https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-execution/program-information?id=5965>. SFFT is also the core engine for the differential photometry pipeline of the Roman Supernova PIT <https://github.com/Roman-Supernova-PIT>.
