  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.
