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 specialized magnetron co-sputtering process to fabricate a 0.3- to 0.6-m-thick sputtered gold-boron (AuB) liner in inertial confinement hohlraums (inertial confinement fusion) to the specified concentration of 80% Au and 20% B has been developed at General Atomics. The AuB layer concentration in atomic percent is characterized by witness pieces using depth-profiling Auger electron spectroscopy. The results of the initial research and development effort and the yield in pilot production of AuB-lined gold hohlraums are presented.
