Newly commissioned state of the art MX beamlines fitted with current advanced hybrid pixel detectors are now in operation. At the NSLS-II, AMX and FMX, two high-brightness micro-focusing beamlines (> 10 11 and > 5x10 12 ph/s/um 2 respectively) are fitted with Dectris Eiger detectors and are equipped with advanced automation that will ultimately allow screening of up to 1000 crystals per day. We have seen throughput greater than 1 GB/s per beamline during demanding experiments and are expecting this to increase in the upcoming months. With this level of throughput, near real time data analysis feedback is a necessity. This requires infrastructure with a high bandwidth network, fast-I/O large storage and significant computational capacity. Optimized data processing software and pipelines are being developed to help in coping with the throughput. We will present the state of current problems that the community is facing and some of the solutions that are currently deployed at various facilities. This will be followed by two talks by Intel and a facilitated discussion. The first talk is on Intel Scalable System Framework (HPC) The second talk is on Intel software and tools Ecosystem (HPC) and will focus on adapting MX code to use Intel processors effectively.

Tiled display environments present opportune workspaces for displaying multimedia content. Often times, displaying this kind of audio/visual information requires a substantial amount of network bandwidth. In this paper we present a method for distributing the decoding over the entire display environment, allowing for substantially less network overhead. This method also allows for interactive configuration of the visual workspace. The method described scales independently of video frame size and produces lower latency compared to streaming approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
