Description
At the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), users can access automatically reduced data both during experiments (“live reduction”) and soon after data collection completes (“autoreduction”). Users can also monitor experiment parameters and view an instrument-specific report from the automated reduction through a web interface.
This presentation introduces the automated data reduction workflow at SNS and HFIR, including how it is configured by Instrument Scientists, how users can get feedback during ongoing experiments, and the software applications involved. We will review the current state of the automated reduction and propose future enhancements to improve flexibility, e.g. in computing resources, provenance and resilience. Finally, we will briefly discuss the role of autoreduction in automated experiments and new automated workflows.
