At light sources like the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (EuXFEL), the high pulse repetition rates generate vast quantities of data that are challenging to track and analyze in real-time. Traditionally, users have relied on manual, error-prone spreadsheets to maintain run tables and record metadata. This presentation introduces the Data And Metadata iNspection Interactive Thing (DAMNIT), a...

Deploying GPU-accelerated AI workflows from photon-source beamlines to remote HPC facilities requires navigating incompatible job schedulers, GPU architectures, CUDA versions, and container runtimes. Users and beamline staff must maintain separate deployment procedures for each facility, limiting portability and slowing adoption of new methods.

We present a facility-agnostic pipeline...

The Extensible Workflow System (Ewoks) is a meta-workflow system that provides a unified interface for defining and executing scientific workflows with built-in data provenance, supporting FAIR data practices. It targets use cases at large-scale facilities, from manual and automated data processing to the orchestration of fully automated experiments.

Ewoks leverages existing workflow...

Tofu image processing toolkit has been used with a great success for nearly a decade to reconstruct microCT data acquired at imaging beamlines of the KIT Light Source in Karlsruhe, Canadian Light Source, and P23 beamline of DESY as well as laminography data acquired at ESRF ID19 and neutron-based CT scans done at Institut Laue-Langevin. The architecture, functionality, and performance of...
