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.

Edge plasma behavior was observed by fast camera at high density central-cell plasma in GAMMA 10. The plasma performance was better when the plasma rotated clockwise to the magnetic field. Also, when the interaction with the central-cell limiter was observed, the plasma stored energy was deteriorated. These results were very similar that of high potential central-cell plasma experiment as previously reported. Several rotation mechanisms exist, and on the empirical basis it is suggested the interaction with the central-cell limiter is important.
