Delivering reliable beamline software increasingly looks like operating an on-premises “cloud”: many services, close to instruments and data, with rapid iteration and strong cyber security controls. At the Australian Synchrotron (ANSTO), our Scientific Computing team runs essentially all beamline computing services on-site using containers and Kubernetes. Across 10+ Kubernetes clusters we...

The Mantid project is almost 20 years old. It started as a C++ GUI for processing muon and time-of-flight neutron scattering data at ISIS. In 2010, ORNL was the first of many to join in the development of the software. Several significant changes have occurred in scientific computing since the first commit to the Mantid repository in 2007. Among them is the rise of Python as a dominant...

Since its origin in 2007 Mantid [1] has become an essential tool for Neutron and Muon data reduction at ISIS, ORNL, ILL, PSI, MLZ and beyond. The Mantid collaboration have built the data structures, algorithms and scripts needed to process instrument data and a workbench with workflow centred user interfaces to make an expanding range of techniques accessible to scientist and users. Mantid is...
