[orso82]

Code camp this week Thursday: 13.301

• @bclyons12 will do a little tutorial on versioning

FUSE for reactor design class

• Target will be NT version of a SPARC-like breakeven tokamak

Orso

• code camp last week (open fuse)
  • FuseRegistry
  • figured out how packages versions should work
• Worked on RABBIT to merge PR
  • Getting RABBIT on IRIS/OMEGA
  • Put the RABBIT executable in separate repo
  • @adrianaghiozzi to update documentation to say that
• Added sources of ion particles
• FIRST
  • Improved FUSE initialization of PF coils, now with rectangular coils (not point)
  • Fix boundary symmetry (double null boundaries were loosing up-down symmetry)

Nan

• Do pellets give us a impurity particle source in the plasma core? need to check

Adriana

• Working to get RABBIT on IRIS/OMEGA
• Different versions on IRIS and OMEGA (only 6 months old)
• Work with Sterling/Severin to setup UNIX module
• May start by looking at OMEGA installation and see if that's sufficient for our purposes

Galina

• Fixed the MANTA
  • 4MW --> 40MW
  • Pedestal model was going bad
• Tested 16 sat rules for MANTA
  • must use WPED
  • many sat rules failed
• Tested 16 sat rules for KDEMO
  • must use WPED
  • many sat rules failed
• Tom says. Use DIII-D cases. I have the most faith in: sat1_em_d3d_negD.bson
• @avdeevag to open an issue and document

Tom

• Started looking at UKAEA STEP data
• Will generate TGLF database
  1. varying parameters directly
  2. using FUSE workflow
• Will train NNs for them

Tim

• Is running optimization with full TGLF runs, saving input.tglfs that Tom will train on
• @TimSlendebroek Tom is asking what sat rule was used for the FPP NT optimization study
• Updated most of the paper figures, will continue to work on that

Brendan

• Done some quick profiling of FUSE
  • Improved buffer function to limit allocations
