DIII-D National Fusion Facility, NERSC, and ESnet Collaboration Speeds Nuclear Fusion Research
This new collaboration leverages high-performance computing (HPC) at NERSC, DOE’s high-speed data network (ESnet), and DIII-D’s rich diagnostic suite to make important data from fusion experiments more useful and available to the global fusion research community, helping to accelerate the realization of fusion energy production.

- At DIII-D, researchers perform experiments to understand how to harness nuclear fusion energy as a viable energy source.
- This may make it easier for early-career researchers with smaller professional networks to collaborate with these experts in their research projects.
- This Superfacility collaboration between DIII-D, NERSC and ESnet successfully demonstrates the value in combining experimental scientific simulations with compute resources leading to solutions needed to realize fusion energy production.
