Congrats to the Argonne National Laboratory team for their award-winning entry in the SC Conference's first annual SCinet Technology Challenge! In collaboration with Northwestern University, StarLight, Northern Illinois University, the University of Chicago, and the Metropolitan Research and Education Network (MREN), the team's demo, "Real-Time Analysis of Streaming Synchrotron Data," took home the top recognition for an exemplary blend of networking, computing, and storage.
The researchers streamed experimental data from Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to the ALCF for real-time image reconstruction. They then used machine learning to enhance and de-noise the image data and streamed it back to the StarLight booth at SC19 for volume visualization.
