Query about computers in instrument cabins

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, I'm hoping you can answer a question I have. How do you get Mantid installed/upgraded in the instrument cabins? I get the impression this is not simple or straight forward. I'm aware sometimes we get error reports for older versions of Mantid and when we try and encourage using newer versions it's not possible because it can't be updated. Sadly this means any fixes we've done can't be accessed because they will be in a later version. I'm trying to think about how this can be sorted more easily. It's in nobody's interest doing fixes that are not being used. Thanks Sarah Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Lead and Engineering Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]

Update on OSIRIS SI Analyzer epic

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, Rob has made contact with Franz Demmel - the epic owner for the SI Analyzer epic. He seems happy with the work so far. He will contact Rob again when he has more details for the IDF/IPF from engineering. We have no time scales for this so the epic will remain on hold for now. I don't think there is necessarily any need for board members to intervene at present. I will contact you again if there is any movement. All the best Sarah Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Leader and Mantid Project Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]

Dear all, Please find the draft MPB meeting minutes here: [https://res-h3.public.cdn.office.net/assets/mail/file-icon/png/docx_16x16.p… Minutes 2024-02-28 (draft).docx<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…> Please leave suggests for any general corrections. Also, I will be making a copy to send to Mantid developers so if there is anything that should be removed from this copy please leave a comment explaining so. Please have a look at these before 8/03/24 (1 Week from now). Here are two doodle polls for organising the next pair of meetings. We've tried to fit them around the next Mantid release in a similar way to this last set of meetings.

Update: MPB meeting dates

by Jonathan Haigh - STFC UKRI

Dear all, The original poll I sent out for the next main MPB meeting was for the week starting the 17th of June, Steve King has let me know there is a summer school going on then; so not the best time. Since Harwell open week is the week after, I'm going to move them both a week sooner. Epic Prioritisation Meeting: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/boAzQYKe MPB Meeting: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bqABYY3b I'll have a look at the polls on Friday and send out invites for the best time. All the best, Jonathan

Tours for Mantid Developers

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Calling all instrument scientists! I'm looking for volunteers to give tours of their science area or instrument to our Scientific Software Engineers and Software Scientists in Mantid. This is an opportunity for them to gain a greater understanding about what you do which will hopefully help us with developing Mantid for ISIS. Initially we are looking for volunteers for the 21st and 23rd May. We are hoping to run these again so if these dates don't work for you but you would be interested future sessions then let me know. If you are free and want to do this there is a short form for you to fill in to express your interest - https://forms.office.com/e/XnkggmCSCT . Many thanks Sarah Foxley Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Leader and Mantid Project Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]

Re: geometry in mantid

by Stephen King - STFC UKRI

Dear Colleagues, At the Mantid Programme Board yesterday it was noted that the Epic to implement multiple bounce points in the Mantid geometry framework was still lacking an owner. Without an owner the work will not be considered further. There is also a suggestion that the case of scanning instruments should be a separate Epic. That would then also require a scientific owner. If you would like to volunteer for one or other (or both!) of these, please contact Sarah Foxley asap. The next MPB Epics Discussion will be in around 6-8 weeks. Many thanks, Steve On behalf of the MPB From: Dalgliesh, Robert (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <robert.dalgliesh(a)stfc.ac.uk> Sent: 27 November 2023 09:29 To: Manuel, Pascal (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <pascal.manuel(a)stfc.ac.uk> Cc: Schomann, Silke (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <silke.schomann(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Skoda, Maximilian (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <maximilian.skoda(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Kinane, Christy (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <christy.kinane(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Le, Duc (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <duc.le(a)stfc.ac.uk>; King, Stephen (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <stephen.king(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Welbourn, Becky (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <becky.welbourn(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Mukhopadhyay, Sanghamitra (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <sanghamitra.mukhopadhyay(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Hampson, Thomas (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <thomas.hampson(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Waite, Richard (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <richard.waite(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Markvardsen, Anders (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <anders.markvardsen(a)stfc.ac.uk>; Foxley, Sarah (STFC,RAL,ISIS) <sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ac.uk> Subject: Re: geometry in mantid Thanks Pas, Given the greater complexity of the reflectometry requirements I think this should be owned by one of the NR team. We can feed in the needs of SANS as needed.

If you are still interested in implementing complex geometries within mantid, we would need to create an EPIC to be in line with the new way of capturing and prioritizing requirements. Each EPIC needs an "owner" from the scientific side. It is basically a ~1-2 page document highlighting the benefits of the work to ISIS in general and also outlining some foreseen solutions so it can be prioritized between all the requests put in to mantid that are not BAU. If any of the scientists on this list would like to volunteer, please drop me a line. Best, P

ORNL Nexus work

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, One of the actions on me from the last meeting was to provide an update on the Nexus work that ORNL are doing. For 6.10 they are planning to undertake a new implementation of LoadEventNexus. This was found to be the slowest step in many of their workflows. Investigation of this algorithm found it was spending much of its time doing other things than reading from disk. The suggested solution is to move away from the current method of allocating all the events and then reusing code for sorting and compressing. Instead they plan to create a histogram whilst reading through events and then converting that data to an EventList. There will be instances where this new method will not be used: - Small event files - Files with period data - Files with weighted events There is much more detail about their plans here - https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/issues/36594 . Let me know if you have any questions about this and I will follow up with Pete at ORNL.
