INL’s Teton supercomputer open for business
Idaho National Laboratory has brought its newest high‑performance supercomputer, named Teton, online and made it available to users through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Science User Facilities program. The system, now the flagship machine in the lab’s Collaborative Computing Center, quadruples INL’s total computing capacity and enters service as the 85th fastest supercomputer in the world.

A multi-port imaging system is developed for simultaneous measurement of source and test regions in a linear plasma device. The system combines two viewing port images to an imaging sensor with the same working distance. The system is installed in the DT-ALPHA device [A. Okamoto, et al., Plasma Fusion Res. 7, 2401018 (2012)] for the proof of principle. Bandpass filtered images of a plasma column are taken. The electron density profile of a plasma column passing through orifices is obtained by the He I line intensity ratio method. The result demonstrates effectiveness of the system.
