Psyche Hardware Abstraction Simulation Environment (PHASE): Development of High-Fidelity Downlink Model for Flight Software Performance Testing

NASA’s Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Independent Test Capability (ITC) Team develops high fidelity software-only simulations (or “digital-twins”) of NASA’s most critical missions that are then used for software verification and validation (V&V). One such digital-twin simulator nearing maturity is the Psyche Hardware Abstraction Simulation Environment (PHASE). PHASE utilizes an instruction set simulator along with ITC-developed avionics models. PHASE includes a newly-developed model of the telecom hardware with a high-fidelity downlink interface, capable of supporting reconfigurable downlink data rates and transmission modes. The different downlink transmission modes allow more processing to be ceded from software onto the telecom hardware. Thus, we are able to monitor the performance of the downlink software module in the time-partitioned OS and perform more realistic dynamic testing based on software’s resource utilization. This presentation will cover PHASE, avionics modeling, the downlink model, and its usage for flight software performance testing.

Extending the Publish/Subscribe Abstraction for High-Performance I/O and Data Management at Extreme Scale

The Adaptable I/O System (ADIOS) represents the culmination of substantial investment in Scientific Data Management, and it has demonstrated success for several important extreme-scale science cases. However, looking towards the exascale and beyond, we see the development of yet more stringent data management requirements that require new abstractions. Therefore, there is an opportunity to attempt to connect the traditional realms of HPC I/O optimization with the Database / Data Management community. As such, in this paper we offer some specific examples from our ongoing work in managing data structures, services, and performance at the extreme scale for scientific computing. Using the publish/subscribe model afforded by ADIOS, we demonstrate a set of services that connect data format, metadata, queries, data reduction, and high-performance delivery. The resulting publish/subscribe framework facilitates connection to on-line workflow systems to enable the dynamic capabilities that will be required for exascale science.

Generalization Equations for Machine Learners Based on Physical and Abstract Laws

The physical and abstract laws derived from the first principles have been recently exploited to customize and sharpen machine learning (ML) methods and also derive their generalization equations. These laws often encapsulate knowledge that complements datasets and ML models. We present a generic framework that uses these laws to provide ML codes that are transferable across multiple areas, including data transport infrastructures and thermal hydraulics analytics of nuclear reactors. By anchoring on datasets from these areas and the statistical generalization theory, we present a rigorous approach to co-develop ML solutions and the generalization equations that characterize them, by exploiting the structure and constraints from the laws. We present illustrative examples using practical problems from existing literature on the performance characterization of data transport infrastructures, and the sensor error and power level estimation in nuclear reactor systems using sensor measurements of primary and secondary coolant systems, respectively.
