Abstract: The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is the 7th Japanese X-ray observatory, whose development and operation are in collaboration with universities and research institutes in Japan, U.S., and Europe, including JAXA, NASA, and ESA. The telemetry data downlinked from the satellite are reduced to scientific products by the pre-pipeline (PPL) and pipeline (PL) software running on standard Linux virtual machines on the JAXA and NASA sides, respectively. We ported the PPL to the JAXA "TOKI-RURI" high-performance computing (HPC) system capable of completing $\simeq 160$ PPL processes within 24 hours by utilizing the container platform of Singularity and its "--bind" option. In this paper, we briefly show the data processing in XRISM and present our porting strategy of PPL to the HPC environment in detail.
