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.

Microfabrication techniques, derived from the semiconductor industry, can be used to make a variety of useful mechanical components for targets. A selection of target components fabricated using deep-etched materials including supporting cooling arms for prototype cryogenic inertial confinement fusion targets, and stepped and graded density targets for materials dynamics experiments is described. Microfabrication enables cost-effective, simultaneous fabrication of multiple high-precision components with complex geometries.
