Performance Evaluation of Developed GEM-based X-Ray Diagnostic System

The volume of data acquired from Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors increases with emerging demands for soft X-ray measurement of hot plasma. In order to reach the expectations of the high-quality measurement, construction of high-throughput and low latency processing system is required. Overview and details of the current state-of-the-art of the developed system will be presented. The prepared solution consists of dedicated acquisition hardware, FPGA preprocessing and High Performance Computing devices used for numerical processing. Providing low-latency data transmission is based on PCI Express technology together with the dedicated Linux driver.
