FPGA-based processing for European XFEL
(1888 PressRelease) Maxeler Technologies is
developing programmable hardware for European
XFEL for real-time line-rate processing on the
raw data streams produced by the detector using
Maxeler's powerful FPGA solutions. The European
XFEL is a research facility of superlatives It
generates ultrashort X-ray flashes 27 000 times
per second and with a brilliance that is a
billion times higher than that of the best
conventional X-ray radiation sources. This
World's largest X-ray laser is opening up
completely new research opportunities for
scientists, medical and industrial
users. Maxeler Technologies is developing
programmable hardware for European XFEL for
real-time line-rate processing on the raw data
streams produced by the detector using Maxeler's
powerful FPGA solutions. The project will enable
basic real-time calibration and visualisation of
recorded X-ray Images to greatly improve
productivity for the scientists using the XFEL.
Oskar Mencer, Maxeler's CEO said, We are
tremendously honoured to have been selected as a
supplier by European XFEL, a key facility to push
the boundaries of human knowledge. The
envisioned solution will help us to provide our
users real-time information of the scientific
data and to enable them to optimize their
parameters and thus increase the rate of
successful measurements, said Patrick Geßler,
leader of the Electronic and Electrical
Engineering Group at European XFEL. Since the
start of user operation at European XFEL in 2017,
the world leading facility has reported a
breakthrough in high repetition rate serial
nano-crystallography which is bringing about a
revolution in structural biology and takes us a
huge step closer to the "holy grail" of
structural biology - the single-molecule X-ray
diffraction. http//maxeler.com/news/2020/real-ti
