As the number of on-site and remote collaborators continues to increase, the demands on the DIII-D National Program's computational infrastructure have become more severe. This infrastructure continues to evolve to keep pace with this every increasing demand.
The DIII-D computing environment consists of:
Real-time systems controlling the tokamak, auxiliary heating systems, and diagnostics
Systems acquiring experimental data from instrumentation
Major data analysis server nodes performing short term and long term data access and analysis
Systems to manage and serve data to the international community
Systems providing mechanisms for remote collaboration
Systems that disseminate information over with world wide web.
To carry out these diverse computer tasks, computer scientists within the DIII-D program collaborate with their colleagues at other fusion facilities as well as computer scientists who are not traditionally aligned with fusion research. This teaming is international in scope and includes universities, laboratories, and private companies. Organizations interested in exploring potential collaborations are encouraged to contact the DIII-D Director.
