Transit Rider/Travel Behavior Inventory Survey - Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro - 2005

The survey was an on-board survey of transit riders on all regular route services for bus and light-rail in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. The primary purpose of the study was to gather the data needed to update the mode choice models that are an integral component of the regional travel forecast model maintained by the Metropolitan Council, the metropolitan planning organization for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. The survey instrument focused on identifying characteristics of the trip taken by each transit rider, including origin, destination, trip purpose, and mode of access. The survey also collected relevant socioeconomic and demographic information.

Transit Rider/Travel Behavior Inventory Survey - Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro - 2010

The Metropolitan Council administered a system-wide transit on-board survey between September and November 2010 as part of the 2010 Travel Behavior Inventory to provide detailed transit usage patterns and rider information to support modeling and planning efforts. The study’s focus was to capture only the most current and reliable data necessary to determine future public transportation needs in the Minneapolis region. The study was structured to collect detailed transit ridership data for different routes during different times of day to develop a disaggregate transit trip table that will support advanced travel demand modeling. The study was designed to leverage existing data sources, such as the 2005 on-board survey, to provide the best quality data to update the Travel Behavior Inventory in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area.

Transit Rider/Travel Behavior Inventory Survey - Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro - 1990

The 1990 transit on-board survey aimed to update the 1988 survey, which was conducted as part of the Preliminary Engineering Study for the Hennepin County Light Rail Transit System. The 1988 study received Regional Transit Board funding, and survey results could be applied to a mode split model for projecting ridership on the proposed Light Rail Transit System. However, this survey was designed with the 1990 Travel Behavior Inventory in mind. The intention had been to update the 1988 survey in 1990 to be compatible with the 1990 Travel Behavior Inventory data. The results of the 1990 survey were used primarily to create a table of observed transit trips between each of the 1,200 traffic analysis zones in the region. This trip table was used to calibrate a new mode split model, which estimated future year travel by mode. The 1990 update survey focused on new routes and routes that had changed significantly since 1988. To preserve compatibility with the 1988 survey, the same survey questionnaire card was used, together with the same survey procedures for data collection. The procedures randomly sampled bus patrons during the transit trip, asking key questions about the patron and the transit trip. The survey card was intended for patrons to fill out quickly so it could be completed during the transit trip. The questions focused on conditions that have proven over time to significantly influence ridership. In all, a total of 20,126 valid survey records were processed. Adding surrogate trips, the survey data file is composed of a total of 27,159 trip records . About 10% of the records were filled out by persons who had answered more than one questionnaire.

Hydropower Vision: A New Chapter for America’s 1 st Renewable Electricity Source (Full Report)

Hydropower has provided clean, affordable, reliable, and renewable electricity in the United States for more than a century. Building on hydropower’s historical significance, and to inform the continued technical evolution, energy market value, and environmental performance of the industry, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Wind and Water Power Technologies Office has led a first-of-its-kind comprehensive analysis focused on a set of potential pathways for the environmentally sustainable expansion of hydropower (hydropower generation and pumped storage) in the United States.

SNL ATDM Visualization (ECP ST Capability Assessment Report)

The SNL ATDM Data and Visualization work consolidates existing ATDM activities in scalable data management and visualization. Part of the responsibilities of the SNL ATDM Data and Visualization Project is the maintenance and development of visualization resources for ATDM applications on Exascale platforms. The ATDM Scalable Visualization project provides visualization and analysis required to satisfy the needs of the ASC/ATDM applications on next-generation, many-core platforms. This involves many activities including the re-engineering of visualization algorithms, services, and tools that enable ASC customers to carry out data analysis on ASC systems and ACES platforms. Current tools include scalable data analysis software released open source through ParaView, VTK, and Catalyst. We are also both leveraging and contributing to VTK-m, a many-core visualization library, to satisfy our visualization needs on advanced architectures. The scope of the Scalable Visualization under ATDM at SNL is R&D for the programming model and implementation of visualization code for ASC/ATDM projects and ASC/ATDM application support.

BEE - FY20 P6-3: Release BEEWorkflowManager, BEETaskManager, and client application 2.3.6.01 – LANL ATDM ST / STNS01-4 P6 Milestone Completion Documentation

Release BEEWorkflowManager, BEETaskManager, and client software. The BEEWorkflowManager daemon runs on the HPC cluster login node. It accepts workflows submitted by the BEE client. These workflows are specified using the Common Workflow Language (CWL) standard. The BEEWorkflowManager loads workflows into the Neo4j graph database to create the workflow directed acyclic graph (DAG), and submits the workflow tasks to the BEETaskManager for execution. The BEEWorkflowManager records the state of the workflow and its tasks, and communicates this state to the BEE client. The BEEWorkflowManager will start, pause, and cancel a running workflow and its tasks at the command of the BEE client. The BEETaskManager daemon runs on the HPC cluster login node. It accepts tasks from the BEEWorkflowManager, turns those tasks into HPC resource manager jobs (e.g. a slurm job script), and submits the job to the cluster resource manager. The BEETaskManager then tracks the status of the job (pending, running, complete) and updates the BEEWorkflowManager. The BEETaskManager will also cancel a queued or running job when commanded to do so by the BEEWorkflowManager. The first release of the BEETaskManager will support the Slurm resource manager and the Charliecloud linux container runtime.

ECP ST Capability Assessment Report (CAR) for VTK-m (FY20)

The ECP/VTK-m project is providing the core capabilities to perform scientific visualization on Exascale architectures. The ECP/VTK-m project fills the critical feature gap of performing visualization and analysis on processors like graphics-based processors. The results of this project will be delivered in tools like ParaView, Vislt, and Ascent as well as in stand-alone form. Moreover, these projects are depending on this ECP effort to be able to make effective use of ECP architectures. One of the biggest recent changes in high-performance computing is the increasing use of accelerators. Accelerators contain processing cores that independently are inferior to a core in a typical CPU, but these cores are replicated and grouped such that their aggregate execution provides a very high computation rate at a much lower power. Current and future CPU processors also require much more explicit parallelism. Each successive version of the hardware packs more cores into each processor, and technologies like hyper threading and vector operations require even more parallel processing to leverage each core's full potential. VTK-m is a toolkit of scientific visualization algorithms for emerging processor architectures. VTK-m supports the fine-grained concurrency for data analysis and visualization algorithms required to drive extreme scale computing by providing abstract models for data and execution that can be applied to a variety of algorithms across many different processor architectures. The ECP/VTK-m project is building up the VTK-m codebase with the necessary visualization algorithm implementations that run across the varied hardware platforms to be leveraged at the Exascale. We will be working with other ECP projects, such as ALPINE, to integrate the new VTK-m code into production software to enable visualization on our HPC systems.
