The Scientific Computing group supports research carried out on the beamlines of the synchrotron light source Sirius, at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), using modern computational resources that allow a high processing power for the collected data.

This processing is often done concurrently and/or distributed using one or more high performance servers coupled to a data network with low latency and high performance; mainly using programming languages suitable for data distribution on graphics cards. The calculation, rendering, visualization and storage time of the processed data – which are in the order of tens of Gigabytes – must be optimized so as not to interfere with the experimental procedure of the research carried out on each beamline.
