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-channel microwave interferometer can measure plasma density radial profiles in a single plasma shot. It has six observing channels for measuring the radial electron line integrated density profile. The multi-channel microwave interferometer has been reconstructed for improving the signal intensity increase. We set a spherical mirror between the probe beam transmission horn and the injection port window of the multi-channel microwave interferometer. The insertion of spherical mirror makes signal intensity in all measuring channels to be improved. Then, we can successfully obtain the radial electron density profile in a single plasma shot.
