The evolution in the past years of Machine learning techniques, as well as the technological
evolution of computer architectures and operating systems, are enabling new approaches …

Currently, the hardware devices and software tools used in data acquisition (DAQ) systems
for diagnostics in fusion experiments are not standardized. Consequently, the development …

Abstract System on Chip is a hardware solution combining different hardware devices in the
same chip. In particular, the XILINX Zynq solution, implementing an ARM processor and a …

Laser diagnostics, particularly the Thomson scattering technique, is one of the methods
used to measure the electron temperature of plasma, which is highly contaminated by noise …

The automatic recognition of changes in data streams is useful in both real-time and off-line
data analyses. This article shows several effective change-detecting algorithms (based on …

Disruptions in tokamak devices are inevitable and can severely damage a tokamak device's
wall. For this reason, different protection mechanisms have to be implemented. In the Joint …

EURATOM/CIEMAT and the Technical University of Madrid UPM are involved in the
development of a FPSC (fast plant system control) prototype for ITER based on PXIe form …

Real-time (RT) disruption prediction (DP) is essential to trigger mitigation actions that avoid
irreversible damage to the devices. This paper deals with disruption mitigation alarms and …

This thesis explores the potential of emerging hardware architectures to increase the impact
of high performance computing in fusion plasma physics research. For next generation …

The operation of a tokamak device is highly sophisticated, which usually requires high
performance real-time controllers. The ITER Control, Data Access and Communication …
