National CTR Computer Center
Creators
Description
The central computer (a CDC 7600) went online last October at the National CTR Computer Center, Livermore, inaugurating large-scale computational support to the CTR community. The first high-speed (50,000-bit/s) transmission lines become operational in January 1976 to four major CTR research sites, marking the start of a national wideband communications network. Access to the national center is also being expanded for offnet users: scientists at universities with ERDA-sponsored CTR research projects. Computational studies at the national computer center are presently keyed to the research needs and developmental schedules of the three principal CTR confinement schemes: tokamaks, high-β machines, and magnetic-mirror machines. Expanded uses will include prompt data reduction for confinement experiments and engineering studies for experimental and demonstration fusion power reactors
