RECASTX is a GPU-accelerated software written in modern C++(17). This project has been developed based on a successful proof-of-principle test [1] using RECAST3D in 2019 at the TOMCAT, Swiss Light Source. It aims at providing a near real-time streaming data processing and visualization tool to allow guide tomoscopy experiments effectively. It also serves as the foundation of building a smart data acquisition system which has the potential to reduce the recorded data size by removing trivial or repetitive data while preserving the important scientific information which could lead to scientific discoveries.
Besides various new features, the performance of the reconstruction pipeline has been heavily optimized and it currently reaches more than 3 GB/s (raw data) on a middle-end GPU node. In addition, a modern GUI has been developed to offer better visualization of the 3D data and more flexible control of the reconstruction pipeline.
