  1. “Active” means near-instantaneous stream processing of complex data during transfer to the user or to storage. Cell processing using Infosphere Streams software from IBM and lightpath provided by CANARIE network. Distributed processing on facilities provided by SHARCNET and WESTGRID. Objective: Develop such a network to provide processed results from experiments such as Laue diffraction at APS (34-ID) and VESPERS at CLS The network would assist the integration of diffraction data from multiple and large area detectors. The network would facilitate faster resolution of research problems and free up time for more users. The network would encouage common data formats and protocols leding to closer collaboration. ANISE: Active Network for Information from Synchrotron Experiments

  2. Some project outcomes: 1 Accessibility of Laue diffraction methods to a greater number and variety of users could be achieved by reducing the time required to accumulate meaningful data. 2 The results of complex diffraction measurements involving a e a wider segment of angles could be assessed rapidly.. 3. Data and experiment management processes of Science Studio could enable very brief follow-up experiments to answer crucial questions sometime later. 4.. Distant collaborators could participate in, and learn from experiments on samples of critical importance to a project. . 5. User support software could man a more rapid publications. 6. Expansion to include other beamlines (potentially at APS). ANISE: Active Network for Information from Synchrotron Experiments

  3. Canadian Partners: The University of Western Ontario, Faculty of Science Canadian Light Source (The University of Saskatchewan) IBM Canada Limited Atomic Energy Canada Limited (proposed) Proposed US Partners: Advanced Photon Source Oak Ridge National Laboratory IBM Inc. National Synchrotron Light Source ANISE: Active Network for Information from Synchrotron Experiments

  4. What ANISE could provide: System S software to control network services. Experienced Canadian development team providing common services. Use of Science Studio software. What we would require: Letters of support from ORNL, APS to collaborate in developing ANISE for use by both APS and CLS. Manpower to work on software aspects pertinent only to APS applications. Participate in regular project meetings UCLP Lightpath links if required, TBD. Proposed US Partners: Advanced Photon Source Oak Ridge National Laboratory IBM Inc.

  6. Goals • Science Studio serves three purposes: • Management of all aspects of a scientific experiment including data storage, collaboration with others, processing of data; • Control of, or interaction with, remote experiments on the CLSI VESPERS Beamline and UWO Nanofabrication Laboratory and • User Services (sample management, scheduling, peer review, user training)

  7. Other requirements • Low cost, both in initial licensing fees and operating costs • Distributed environment: used at multiple facilities • Easy to change • Large amounts of data, fast response times • Data is secure • Increases the effectiveness of laboratories and devices • Reduces need to travel to facilities.

  8. More Design Objectives • Built to be useful to scientists: • Easy to find information • Information is entered once and reused • Information kept organized, safe, and easily shareable • Utilities available to promote collaboration and teamwork. • System allows for task and sample management

  9. User Access to Synchrotrons • Synchrotrons are electron storage rings that emit high intensity radiation spectrum ranging from IR to x rays. Access is normally granted for single periods of 2-3 days in a half-year cycle. • Episodic access requires careful pooling of samples • Little or no time for analysis of data during the experimental access. • Reprise experiments difficult to schedule • Travel is expensive and inconvenient • User control and records of experiments at the site is sometimes limited.

Shown here are the results of an older indexing programme written in IDL, and the new indexing programme, written in C. The new indexing programme is proving to be more versatile, and more reliable than the old programme, often indexing sets of data that the old programme failed with.

  15. Next Steps • Access to VESPERS /XRF2.0 available to UWO users by September 2009. • VESPERS/XRD 1.0 available to UWO users by Feb 2011 • Nanofab lab to be fitted with a light version of Science Studio by Summer 2010 • VESPERS available to internet users worldwide by November 2010 • Planning for a virtual high speed synchrotron data processing centre underway .
