title: Computing for synchrotron radiation experiments.
abstract: Computing provision is of major concern to synchrotron radiation researchers. An overview is presented of the computing facilities for synchrotron radiation work at the Synchrotron Radiation Source, Daresbury Laboratory. Data acquisition, reduction and analysis are seen as an integrated activity essential for full utilization of beam time. We discuss the evolution of data-acquisition systems from stand-alone systems of limited computing power, to a unified project computing village using state-of-the-art equipment for combined-technique, high-data-rate experiments. A brief account of software packages for data reduction and analysis is also given.
