Operating system (OS) independent job configuration for image reconstruction at HEMERA

The Institute of Fluid Dynamics at the HZDR operates ultrafast electron beam X-ray CT scanners, a.k.a. ROFEX-CT scanners, that are used to visualize rapidly moving two-phase gas-liquid scenarios in technical devices with an imaging rate of up to 8,000 images per second. This means, radiographic projections are acquired from different angular positions of the two-phase flow and reconstruction algorithms, e.g. filtered back projection or algebraic reconstruction technique, are applied to obtain a stack of cross-sectional images as a sequence of time. The scanners can be operated in single or dual-plane mode. The presentation highlights the construct that is developed to start OS-independent data reconstruction jobs at HEMERA.
