We present our work to improve data accessibility and performance for data-intensive tasks within the fusion research community. Our primary goal is to develop services that facilitate efficient access for data-intensive applications while ensuring compliance with FAIR principles [1], as well as adoption of interoperable tools, methods and standards.
The major outcome of our work is the...
Measuring Soft X-Ray (SXR) emission in a tokamak gives access to plasma information such as impurity distribution, radiation emission, magnetic axis, etc. Current detectors used for SXR diagnostics, for instance semi-conductors, will not survive in the harsh environment of ITER caused by high neutron fluency. One solution is to use Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) which measure X-ray emission...
MDSplus version 8.0 introduces 63-byte node names (in preparation for UTF-8 support). Which means that signals can now have meaningful names, including the long names used in the IMAS / OMAS dictionaries. This presentation describes the current state of the version 8.0 pre-release, possible enhancements, and how to obtain a copy of the software.
Some preliminary uses of version 8.0 will...
To facilitate the interoperability and reusability of analysis codes, and general interoperability of data from different fusion experiments, work has been undertaken to map the data from these experiments into the IMAS (ITER Integrated Modelling and Analysis Suite) data model[1]. This mapping can be done on an adhoc basis with the generated IDSs being then made available locally or via remote...
The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) serves as a crucial testing ground for the development and validation of neutral beam injection systems essential for ITER's fusion power plant. Two experimental campaigns, SPIDER and MITICA, are conducted within the NBTF. SPIDER (Source for Production of Ion of Deuterium Extracted from Rf Plasma) focuses on the development and optimization of the ion...
The rapidly evolving field of fusion research demands sophisticated data processing and management tools to handle the immense volumes of experimental data generated by tokamak operations. In response to these needs, TokSearch, a fusion data processing framework developed by General Atomics and recently open-sourced, has undergone significant upgrades to better serve the fusion research...
The Wendelstein 7-X fusion experiment is an optimized stellarator, equipped with more than 60 different diagnostic systems. Many of those diagnostics comprise optical and/or infrared spectrum sensor arrays of various technologies (cameras). In order to enable full compliance with accepted scientific methods, all data generated by these systems (during experiments) are stored in the W7-X...
A new cloud platform to realize plasma/fusion experimental data ecosystem, named "Plasma and Fusion Cloud," has been technically verified on some fundamental issues. Enormous amount of diagnostic data require a high-performance computing (HPC) platform not only for the LHD physics data analyses and also for the next-generation experiments, such as ITER and JT-60SA. Performance evaluation have...
Interpreting diagnostic data promptly after it is recorded remains a crucial aspect of modern tokamaks where rapid evaluation of plasma performance during a pulse is essential for operational efficiency and the implementation of the scientific programme. In this work, we present recent progress in developing a demonstrator for an in-pulse processing workflow for ITER, from simulated magnetic...
Analyzing physics data from experimental fusion reactors is important for R&D of demonstration reactors. The Japanese fusion community is planning to transfer all ITER's raw data near-real time to the Remote Experiment Centre (REC) in Japan and provide it, along with a supercomputer to domestic researchers so that they can freely analyze ITER data. “Near real-time” transfer means that the...
Currently, a large amount of knowledge has been accumulated in the field of Fusion Research. Long-term experience of several generations of scientists disposes in accumulated experimental databases, theoretical works, mathematical models, codes, literature, technical documentation etc.
Modern information technologies make it possible to consolidate such databases on a single information...
Currently operating fusion devices and future fusion reactors share common features such as complex systems, limited space, expensive components, and some nuclear-related aspects. Consequently, traditional component installation or maintenance is inefficient. The immersive virtual installation achieved on EAST provides researchers with functionalities such as scheme discussions and...
