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.

The structure of deposited carbon layers formed under various conditions ranging from small scale laboratory to large scale magnetic confinement devices was characterized using Raman spectroscopy. By comparing ion beam and TEXTOR experiments, the deposition temperature is found to be the dominant factor in three dimensional disorder of sp2 sites and sp3 ratio at T>493 K. While, no clear temperature dependence on properties of aromatic rings was observed, indicating other parameters responsible for the aromatic rings present in carbon deposition layers. The carbon layers from JET differed significantly, indicating influence of Be compound formation on Raman parameters.
