Software
nabu
Nabu is a tomography processing software being developed at ESRF by the ADA Unit. It is part of the new ESRF tomography software suite. The European Synchrotron has several tomography beamlines. Each of them use dedicated software, which over the years led a variety of different tools spread over the beamlines with poor maintainability. This is summarized in ESRF current situation for tomography software. Nabu is an effort to unify tomography software in a new toolkit with the following requirements: Library of tomography processing, with “applications” built on top of it, usable by both non-experts and power-users High performance processing (parallelization with Cuda/OpenCL, computations distribution, memory re-use) Support of multiple techniques, not only absorption and phase contrast Extensively documented Focus on maintainability with a bus factor greater than one Compatible with ESRF legacy software, progressively replacing it Nabu does not aim at being the new universal tomography reconstruction software. Well-established software like Astra, tomopy, Savu and UFO have an extensive set of features. Nabu foremost focuses on ESRF needs, while being designed so that it can be re-used in other projects.
PyHST2
Hybrid distributed code for high speed tomographic reconstruction with iterative reconstruction and a priori knowledge capabilities. PyHST2 (formerly known as PyHST) has been engineered to sustain the high data flow typical of the third generation synchrotron facilities (10 terabytes per experiment) by adopting a distributed and pipelined architecture. The code implements, beside a default filtered backprojection reconstruction, iterative reconstruction techniques with a-priori knowledge. The latter are used to improve the reconstruction quality or in order to reduce the required data volume and reach a given quality goal. The implemented a-priori knowledge techniques are based on the total variation penalisation and a new recently found convex functional which is based on overlapping patches.
PyNX
Python toolkit for accelerated Nano-structures Crystallography and Coherent X-ray Imaging techniques. The software included in this package can be used for: 1. the computing of X-ray scattering using graphical processing units 2. X-ray wavefield propagation (from near to far field) 3. simulation and GPU-accelerated analysis of experiments using the ptychography and coherent diffraction imaging techniques See the full documentation at: http://ftp.esrf.fr/pub/scisoft/PyNX/doc/
