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.

This paper shows that the design improvement of the ECH antenna system for high efficient heating of GAMMA 10 tandem mirror plasma. The previous ECH antenna was not large enough to cover the microwave because it was limited by the port size. New antenna system clears this limit and is enlarged as large as possible. And its size becomes twice, which enables to inject the microwave with the efficiency up to 95%. It is about 20% increase as compared with the previous system.
