Infrared Beamline Data Analysis Workshop

2012-06-18
2012-06-19
Australia/Melbourne

The Australian Synchrotron is pleased to announce the 2012 Infrared Beamline Data Analysis Workshop.

This workshop will focus on data analysis and in particular on resonant Mie scattering (RMieS) correction. A RMieS correction algorithm based on extended multiplicative signal correction (EMSC) has been developed by Paul Bassan and Peter Gardner of Manchester University, UK and Achim Kohler of Nofima Mat, Norway in order to remove the baseline distortion in FTIR spectra, particularly in biological single cell spectra. This correction is now being increasingly used on spectra from both single cells and tissue sections. Paul Bassan will join the IR beamline team as workshop instructors.

Introduction to HPC & Parallel Programming Basics

This course provides an introduction to both high performance computing hardware and theory, and the MPI parallel programming library. The course is appropriate for those who are relatively new to HPC, and would like a general introduction to the field, information to help choose which hardware and software to use, and skills for developing parallel codes. The session requires at least a basic knowledge of C or Fortran.

Imaging Tools Workshop 2011

2011-10-14 09:00
Australia/Melbourne

MASSIVE is helping Australian scientists to process and visualise data from a new generation of imaging instruments, including the Imaging and Medical Beamline at Australian Synchrotron, CT and MRI imaging facilities, and optical and electron microscopy facilities. The data produced by these instruments requires processing and analysis tools that allow scientists to extract answers to specific research questions. This workshop is an opportunity for the imaging community to share information about imaging tools and services that are applied by scientists in their daily research. Presentations range from the application of commercial software, to the development of specific tools and algorithms for image analysis.
