HiPACE++ v0.1

Hipace++ is the new implementation of the DESY-LBNL code Hipace (not distributed nor licensed) for plasma acceleration, relying on the quasi-static particle-in-cell (PIC) method, enabling fast and accurate simulations of plasma accelerators for problems satisfying the quasi-static approximation. Plasma acceleration is a priority in the ATAP division, and such problems represent a wide range of parameters. Hipace++ is an HPC (high-performance computing) code running on supercomputers and it provides the first efficient implementation of the quasi-static PIC method on Graphic Processing Units (GPU), showing 10x speedup and using much less resources than CPU implementations for production simulations. It currently runs on Nvidia GPUs and will ultimately be portable to more accelerated HPC platforms. The porting strategy is novel, and can be adapted to other flavors of quasi-static PIC. Besides, Hipace++ aims at using mesh refinement for higher efficiency, thus enabling simulations unfeasible today. For this purpose, Hipace++ depends on the open-source library AMReX (Adaptive Mesh Refinement at EXascale) developed at LBNL.

ENSIGN

ENSIGN is a data analytics software package offering a modern unsupervised machine learning solution for scalable discovery in Big Data. The analytics in ENSIGN are based on an advanced mathematical tool called tensor decomposition and they are optimized to run efficiently on a range of computing platforms (from small multicore Desktop platforms to large Supercomputing clusters and novel high-end memory-driven computing platforms such as HPE Superdome Flex). ENSIGN enables the user to extract deep insights from the entirety of massive-scale (100s of Gigabytes or Terabytes scale) multidimensional data. ENSIGN uncovers latent patterns in data without the user having to specify or describe what the patterns are; the user, in the first place, may not even know such patterns existed and that they have to look for such patterns. The insights gained from ENSIGN could be trailheads that can be used as starting points for deeper forensic investigation.

PeleLMeX [SWR-22-48]

PeleLMeX is a solver for high fidelity reactive flow simulations, namely direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES). The solver combines a low Mach number approach, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), embedded boundary (EB) geometry treatment and high performance computing (HPC) to provide a flexible tool to address research questions on platforms ranging from small workstations to the world's largest GPU-accelerated supercomputers. PeleLMeX has been used to study complex flame/turbulence interactions in RCCI engines and hydrogen combustion or the effect of sustainable aviation fuel on gas turbine combustion. PeleLMeX is part of the Pele combustion Suite (https://amrex-combustion.github.io/)

PFLOTRAN 5

PFLOTRAN leverages massively parallel, high performance computing to simulate large-scale non-isothermal multiphase flow, multicomponent reactive transport and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) problems in the subsurface environment. Researchers have employed PFLOTRAN to simulate these Earth system processes on leadership class supercomputers for over two decades. The code is designed to predict the future estate of environmental systems and better inform stakeholders in the regulatory decision making process (e.g., fate of contaminants, long-term stewardship for nuclear waste, impact of climate change, etc.). A diverse team of scientists oversees PFLOTRAN development and maintenance under an open-source licensing agreement and manages contributions from an international community of researchers.

Equilipy

There is high demand for high-throughput calculations of phase equilibria based on the CALPHAD method (CALculation of PHAse Diagram). High-throughput calculations are possible through HPC, currently by a commercial program called Thermo-Calc. However, the number of nodes/processors are limited to the number of purchased license (16 processors per license). This program provides a toolkit for high-throughput calculations of phase equilibria by the CALPHAD method. The program is prepared for Python environment, so that it can be easily installed and used together with other open-source programs. The program can be run in supercomputer.

ExaDigiT/RAPS

ExaDigiT is a framework for developing comprehensive digital twins of liquid-cooled supercomputers, which has three main modules: (1) a python-based Resource Allocator and Power Simulator (RAPS), (2) a Modelica-based Thermo-Fluidic cooling model, and (3) a C++-based augmented reality model built on Unreal Engine 5. RAPS either simulates workloads or replays historical workloads from system telemetry, and is able to predict dynamic energy consumption, as well as interact with the cooling model to predict cooling system behavior. Such a tool can be used together with reinforcement learning algorithms to provide an end-to-end optimization tool for data centers.

Spinbox: tools for many-body quantum systems in a Monte Carlo context

Spinbox is a piece of software that facilitates quantum mechanical calculations relevant to Monte Carlo simulation of atomic nuclei. At the front lines of research on the nuclear many-body problem are a large number of supercomputer-scale simulation codes. These codes produce valuable results but can be hard to understand, especially for those without intimate knowledge of the relevant theoretical methods. Thus, tools that fill pedagogical roles are extremely valuable. Spinbox makes it easy for one to replicate and analyze the computational processes relevant to a Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation that may be difficult to understand/debug/analyze due to the scale of the corresponding simulation software. Spinbox is written in Python using other state-of-the-art Python modules for numerical calculations. While a number of Python libraries exist that are suited to general quantum many-body calculations, the motivation of Spinbox is quite particular. In Diffusion Monte Carlo methods (DMC, GFMC, AFDMC), the central calculation is the imaginary-time propagation of individual samples of the many-body wavefunction. Although quantum wavefunctions generally must be described by a probability distribution over a basis, DMC imbues particles (within one sample) with classical spatial coordinates. This method is unusual, so other Python packages are typically not set up to do this easily. Furthermore, the software has built-in options for nuclear systems assuming isospin symmetry, which can be set up with other libraries but is a nontrivial process to do so. Features: - numerical representation of samples of the many-body wavefunctions, including tensor-product states (used in AFDMC) - numerical representation of many-body operators, including tensor-product operators: general, spin, imaginary-time propagation, etc. - the correct associated arithmetic and algebra, implemented as class methods - classes for representing realistic nuclear two- and three-body Hamiltonians (e.g. Argonne V18, Illinois NNN) - large-scale parallel integration over random variables, crucial for the AFDMC method My goal is to make this package open source so that anyone may use it and contribute to it, particularly other researchers doing AFDMC calculations

AutoCSM

A template system-of-systems modeling approach for automating the development, deployment, and integration of cooling system models (CSMs) for supercomputing facilities within the ExaDigiT framework. AutoCSM is a Python-based framework to assist in CSM developers in accelerating the creation and deployment of system-level thermal-hydraulic CSMs. The intention is for this tool specifically to help standardize digital twin workflows for ExaDigiT. However, this tool can be used independent of ExaDigiT (and even other systems besides CSMs).

LLNL/thicket

Thicket is a python-based toolkit for Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) of parallel performance data that enables performance optimization and understanding of applications’ performance on supercomputers. It bridges the performance tool gap between being able to consider only a single instance of a simulation run (e.g., single platform, single measurement tool, or single scale) and finding actionable insights in multi-dimensional, multi-scale, multi-architecture, and multi-tool performance datasets.
