The European XFEL is a megahertz repetition-rate facility producing extremely bright and coherent pulses of femtosecond duration. With its AGIPD, LPD and DSSC detectors specifically built to operate at these repetition rates, the amount of data generated in the context of user experiments can exceed hundreds of gigabits per second, resulting in tens of petabytes stored every year. These rates...

The massive and diverse experimental data generated by the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) poses severe challenges to data processing pipelines, rendering traditional fixed serialization and compression strategies inefficient. To address this, we introduce LightPacker, an adaptive decision-making system that automatically applies the optimal serialization and compression algorithm...

At the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), users can access automatically reduced data both during experiments (“live reduction”) and soon after data collection completes (“autoreduction”). Users can also monitor experiment parameters and view an instrument-specific report from the automated reduction through a web interface.
