Abstract
The design and implementation of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) based Resistive Wall Mode (RWM) controller to perform feedback control on the RWM using Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control is reported herein. The control algorithm is based on a simplified DIII-D VALEN model. By using NVIDIA's GPUDirect RDMA framework, the digitizer and output module are able to write and read directly to and from GPU memory, eliminating memory transfers between host and GPU. The system and algorithm was able to reduce plasma response excited by externally applied fields by 32% during development experiments.
