  * Suren & Matthias [raw-attachment:GTC2012-abstract.pdf A high performance platform for real-time X-ray imaging]: We will share our experience on development of the GPU-based platform for synchrotron-based X-ray imaging aimed to analysis of dynamic processes. The complete data flow from the camera to the data storage will be discussed with a special focus on I/O issues, hardware platform, and ways to utilize the available system resources. An efficient GPU-implementation of filtered back projection will be presented highlighting differences of implementations for GT200, Fermi, and AMD Cypress architectures. We will introduce our software platform used to abstract current configuration of the imaging station and to simplify the development of parallel image processing algorithms.
