  Gumtree is a software product developed at ANSTO and used for experimental control as well as data visualization and treatment. In order to simplify the interaction with instruments and optimize the available time for users, a user friendly multi sample workflow has been developed for Gumtree. Within this workflow users follow a step by step guide where they list available samples, setup instrument configurations and even specify sample environments. Users are then able to monitor the acquisition process in real-time and receive estimations about the completion time. In addition users can modify the previously entered information, even after the acquisitions have commenced. This paper will focus on how ANSTO integrated a multi sample workflow into Gumtree, what approaches were taken to allow realistic time estimations, what programming patterns were used to separate the user interface from the execution of the acquisition, and how standardization across multiple instruments was achieved. Furthermore, this paper will summarize the lessons learned during the development iterations, the feedback received from users and the future opportunities the approach enables.

  MASSIVE is the Australian specialised High Performance Computing facility for imaging and visualisation. The project is a collaboration between Monash University, Australian Synchrotron and CSIRO. MASSIVE underpins a range of advanced instruments, with a particular focus on Australian Synchrotron beamlines. This paper will report on the outcomes of the MASSIVE project since 2011, in particular focusing on instrument integration, and interactive access. MASSIVE has developed a unique capability that supports an increasing number of researchers generating and processing instrument data. The facility runs an instrument integration program to help facilities move data to an HPC environment and provide in-experiment data processing. This capability is best demonstrated at the Imaging and Medical Beamline where fast CT reconstruction and visualisation is now essential to performing effective experiments. The MASSIVE Desktop provides an easy method for researchers to begin using HPC, and is now an essential tool for scientists working with large datasets, including large images and other types of instrument data.
