  This article presents a high-throughput computer program, called EasyDD, for
batch processing, analyzing and visualizing of spectral data; particularly
those related to the new generation of synchrotron detectors and X-ray powder
diffraction applications. This computing tool is designed for the treatment of
large volumes of data in reasonable time with affordable computational
resources. A case study in which this program was used to process and analyze
powder diffraction data obtained from the ESRF synchrotron on an alumina-based
nickel nanoparticle catalysis system is also presented for demonstration. The
development of this computing tool, with the associated protocols, is inspired
by a novel approach in spectral data analysis.
