Description
The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is constructing
Australia’s new 300 million Australian dollar (178 million euros) Open Pool
Australian Light-Water (OPAL) reactor for neutron scattering research. Each neutron
beam instrument from OPAL will provide a graphical user interface, known as GumTree,
for performing data acquisition and online data analysis. GumTree is an Eclipse RCP
based open sourced application which involves international collaboration with a
number of major neutron and X-ray facilities. It is proposed that GumTree will
connect to the Grid infrastructure in near future for computational intensive data
analysis, via the DANSE framework. The DANSE project from Caltech has been awards
11.97 million US dollar funding from the US National Science Foundation for providing
software on distributed data analysis of neutron scattering. ANSTO also has a
long-term commitment on providing eResearch services to the neutron community, such
as archiving instrument raw data to the national grid, and gridifying existing
instruments with CIMA middleware.
