X-Ray Micro-Tomography at the Advanced Light Source and NERSC Superfacility

Explore X-ray micro-tomography techniques at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) "superfacility" in this informative conference talk. Discover how users generate 3D micron-resolution images of diverse samples, from meteorites and volcanic rocks to advanced ceramics, batteries, and biological specimens. Learn about the web interfaces that simplify user interactions with data, including search, transfer, processing, and visualization tools. Delve into the complex automated and semi-automated workflows that leverage NERSC's computational power for advanced data processing. Gain insights into the essential coupling of experimental and computational facilities in the "superfacility" model, which is crucial for the future of experimental facilities.
