This is one of the tool wrappers I have been working on with @Minamehr as part of my Bachelor's project.

We're pretty happy with this one and think it just needs your feedback / approval before publishing it on the tool shed.

FastSpar is a C++ implementation of the SparCC algorithm for estimating correlations from compositional data.
FastSpar GitHub: https://github.com/scwatts/fastspar

The tool wrapper is split into three files:
- fastspar: Only perform the correlation and covariance matrix estimation.
- fastspar_pvalues: Estimate pvalues for the correlation table. Both steps require some identical parameters,
  so this tool can also generate correlation and covariance tables. This saves the user from having to copy
  some parameter values, by only using this tool.
- fastspar_reduce: Filter the combined correlations and p-values to generate sparse matrices.

The test files are copied or generated from the FastSpar / SparCC repos.

Very cool, very high quality? You can also submit this tool to IUC if you like.
