<p>LiberTEM is an open source platform for high-throughput
distributed processing of large-scale binary data sets using
a simplified <a
href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce'>MapReduce
programming model</a>. The current focus is <a
$href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission_electron_microscopy#Universal_detectors_(4D_STEM)'>pixelated</a>$
scanning transmission electron microscopy (<a
$href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission_electron_microscopy'>STEM</a>)$
and scanning electron beam diffraction data.</p> <p>It is <a
href='https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM/architecture.html'>designed
for high throughput and scalability</a> on PCs, single
server nodes, clusters and cloud services. On clusters it
can use fast distributed local storage on high-performance
SSDs. That way it achieves <a
href='https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM/performance.html'>very
high aggregate IO performance</a> on a compact and
cost-efficient system built from stock components.</p>
<p>LiberTEM is supported on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
Other platforms that allow installation of Python 3 and the
required packages will likely work as well. The GUI is
running in a web browser.</p>
<p><strong>Installation</strong></p> <p>The short
version:</p> <pre>$ virtualenv -p python3 ~/libertem-venv/ $
source ~/libertem-venv/bin/activate (libertem) $ pip install
"libertem[torch]" </pre> <p>Please see <a
href='https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM/install.html'>our
documentation</a> for details!</p> <p>Deployment as a
single-node system for a local user is thoroughly tested and
can be considered stable. Deployment on a cluster is
experimental and still requires some additional work, see <a
href='https://github.com/LiberTEM/LiberTEM/issues/105'>Issue
#105</a>.</p> <p><strong>Applications</strong></p> <ul>
<li>Virtual detectors (virtual bright field, virtual HAADF,
center of mass , custom shapes via masks)</li> <li><a
href='https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM/app/amorphous.html'>Analysis
of amorphous materials</a></li> <li><a
href='https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM-blobfinder/'>Strain
mapping</a></li> <li><a

analysis functions (user-defined functions)</a></li> <li><a

electron holography reconstruction</a></li> </ul> <p>Please
see <a
href='https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM/applications.html'>the
applications section</a> of our documentation for
details!</p> <p>The Python API and user-defined functions
(UDFs) can be used for more complex operations with
arbitrary masks and other features like data export. There
are example Jupyter notebooks available in the <a
href='https://github.com/LiberTEM/LiberTEM/tree/master/examples'>examples
directory</a>. If you are having trouble running the
examples, please let us know, either by filing an issue or
by <a href='https://gitter.im/LiberTEM/Lobby'>joining our
Gitter chat</a>.</p> <p>LiberTEM is suitable as a
high-performance processing backend for other applications,
including live data streams. <a
href='https://gitter.im/LiberTEM/Lobby'>Contact us</a> if
you are interested!</p> <p>LiberTEM is evolving rapidly and
prioritizes features following user demand and
contributions. In the future we\'d like to implement
live acquisition, and more analysis methods for all
applications of pixelated STEM and other large-scale
detector data. If you like to influence the direction this
project is taking, or if you\'d like to <a
