Coherent X-ray Imaging Data Analysis Using PyNX
Description
4th generation synchrotron sources provide two orders of magnitude more coherent photons, and thus the ability to collect coherent X-ray imaging datasets faster and/or with a higher resolution. Consequently, the increased volume of data requires dedicated tools to fully take advantage of the improved coherent flux. PyNX [https://pynx.esrf.fr] is developed at ESRF - it has been written from the ground up to provide state-of-the-art performance using optimised GPU programming, both in terms of speed and memory requirements (to handle larger datasets). It is used on multiple beamlines notably at ESRF, Soleil, Petra-III, TPS, with scripts for data analysis easily expandable for new instruments (only the data input functions need to be updated). Input/output using the standard CXI format is also supported.
