Polaris is joined by two other DOE-supported supercomputers — Perlmutter at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory — in a project to develop automated data workflows for next-generation X-ray science. Globus automates the flow of XPCS data between beamlines and supercomputers like Polaris to ensure results are delivered in near-real time.
