Advanced fusion code led by PPPL has been selected to participate in Early Science Programs on three new DOE Office of Science pre-exascale supercomputers.
The PPPL code, called XGC, simulates behavior of the ions, electrons and neutral atoms in the transport barrier region— or “pedestal” — between the ultra-hot core of the plasma that fuels fusion reactions and the cooler and turbulent outer edge of the plasma.
Two more PPPL-led codes are GTC-P and GTS codes that model plasma turbulence in the plasma core.
