The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) comprises a 1.5-MW, 60-Hz, 1-GeV linac, an accumulator ring, associated beam lines, and a spallation neutron target. Construction began in 1999 and the project is on track to be completed in June 2006. By September 2005 the facility was commissioned up through the end of the superconducting linac, and in January 2006 commissioning began on the High Energy Beam Transport beam line, the accumulator ring, and the Ring to Target Beam Transport beam line up to the Extraction Beam Dump. In this paper we will discuss early results from ring commissioning including a comparison of achieved vs. design beam machine parameters and the maximum beam intensity achieved to date.

A major obstacle to collaboration on accelerator projects has been the sharing of lattice description files between modeling codes. To address this problem, a lattice description format called Accelerator Markup Language (AML) has been created. AML is based upon the standard eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format; this provides the flexibility for AML to be easily extended to satisfy changing requirements. In conjunction with AML, a software library, called the Universal Accelerator Parser (UAP), is being developed to speed the integration of AML into any program. The UAP is structured to make it relatively straightforward (by giving appropriate specifications) to read and write lattice files in any format. This will allow programs that use the UAP code to read a variety of different file formats. Additionally this will greatly simplify conversion of files from one format to another. Currently, besides AML, the UAP supports the MAD lattice format.
