Machine Learning Automation Pipeline

Machine Learning Automation Pipeline (MLAP) is a package to perform machine learning (ML) analysis in a step by step manner, starting with data extraction until analysis and prediction. The scripts provide the users option to chose an action such as "Extract", "Prep", and "Train" and numerous cases can be launched with just a single command. The inputs for each case are provided using a JSON file. The simulation results of several cases can be assessed using an automated process and analyzed for various metrics pertinent to ML analysis.

ERF: Energy Research and Forecasting

The Energy Research and Forecasting (ERF) code is a new model that simulates the mesoscale and microscale dynamics of the atmosphere using the latest high-performance computing architectures. It employs hierarchical parallelism using an MPI+X model, where X may be OpenMP on multicore CPU-only systems, or CUDA, HIP, or SYCL on GPU-accelerated systems. ERF is built on AMReX (Zhang et al., 2019, 2021), a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) software framework that provides the underlying performance-portable software infrastructure for block-structured mesh operations. The "energy" aspect of ERF indicates that the software has been developed with renewable energy applications in mind. In addition to being a numerical weather prediction model, ERF is designed to provide a flexible computational framework for the exploration and investigation of different physics parameterizations and numerical strategies, and to characterize the flow field that impacts the ability of wind turbines to extract wind energy. The ERF development is part of a broader effort led by the US Department of Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office.
