sta-imex (scripts to investigate stability of IMEX methods)

Set of Matlab scripts to investigate properties of IMEX time stepping methods. Scripts include discretization of a system of linearized equations. One script plots numerical dispersion against analytical dispersion of the system. Another set of scripts uses the system to break it into stiff and non stiff part to investigate stability of Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta methods. Scripts are based on Thuburn, J. and Woollings, T. J., Vertical Discretizations for Compressible Euler Equation Atmospheric Models Giving Optimal Representation of Normal Modes , 2005 and Lock, S.-J. and Wood, N. and Weller, H., Numerical analyses of Runge-Kutta implicit-explicit schemes for horizontally explicit, vertically implicit solutions of atmospheric models, 2014 expanding ideas from these two papers. Scripts are used to develop IMEX schemes.

SNL-NJOY-2016

This is a wrapper around the LANL NJOY-2016 code that interfaces with extended code capabilities and minor modification of the LANL NJOY-2016 code that supports modeling radiation damage to materials. The NJOY Nuclear Data Processing System is a modular computer code designed to read evaluated data in ENDF format, transform the data in various ways, and output the results as libraries designed to be used in various applications. The wrapper provided here permits Sandia-specific control parameters to be used in the input data file. The modifications incorporated here enhance the ability of NJOY to address material damage response functions for many materials, e.g. to include the NRT and arc-dpa forms of the damage energy in addition to the default NJOY-2016 implementation of the sharp-threshold Kinchin-Pease threshold energy treatment. All of the modifications provided here are being made available to the GitHub-based NJOY-2016 code. As useful enhancements found here are incorporated into the baseline NJOY-2016 code, they will be eliminated from this version so as to maintain our compatibility with the baseline NJOY-2016 code.

Real-time time-dependent density functional theory in Quantum Espresso and related codes

A set of subroutines that interact with an existing computer program, Quantum Espresso (QE), that takes a set of electronic orbitals from QE and propagates them forward in time in response to a number of perturbations. These perturbations include the motion of ions and a wide spectrum of applied electromagnetic fields (e.g., static magnetic fields, slowly-varying electric fields, x-rays, etc.). From the time evolution of the electronic orbitals comes time-varying values of physical observables like the electronic charge and current densities and atomic forces. These are further post-processed to yield properties of interest like stopping powers, conductivities, and the dynamic structure factor. The electronic orbitals are described in a plane wave basis and the equations of motion are carried out using a unitary or approximately unitary time propagation algorithm. Related work will include subroutines for interfacing this capability, as well as others that already exist within QE, with a fork of QE that is more extensible and modular.SAND2019-12611 M Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.

WeightedAFL

WeightedAFL (WAFL) is an improvement to open source fuzzer, American Fuzzy Lop (AFL). Fuzzers modify input to target programs in order to produce crashes and other unintended output in those target programs. WAFL integrates directly with AFL to determine offsets within a buffer that will improve performance metrics. WAFL uses various machine learning techniques to learn these offsets. WAFL also provides a novel software engineering solution to integrate with AFL and allows contributors to quickly write and test algorithms in python.

Behavior Engine - Umbra Package

The Umbra Behavior Engine allows simulated Umbra characters to autonomously make decisions to accomplish goals set for them in a specific scenario. These goals are based on commands given to characters and reactions to stimuli in the simulated environment of the characters. When the character responds to the command issued to him, instead of running a single behavior, he runs a suite of behaviors where only one is active at a time. Other behaviors in the suite include reaction behaviors that can be triggered due to detected objects and activity in the characters' environment.

Stabilizer Rank Strong Simulation v.0.1

This software improves upon the Clifford gate+T gate magic state strong simulation algorithm by Brayvi and Gosset. It provides a better stabilizer state decomposition that scales as 2^{0.463t}, an improvement over 2^{0.468t}, for t T gate magic states. This code enables simulations of universal quantum computing with that asymptotic scaling cost.

Weak Simulation v.0.1

The SPARSIFY algorithm implemented by the code allows for classical simulation of universal quantum computer sample outcomes. The code sparsifies the stabilizer decomposition of a qubit t-tensored T gate magic state to some additive error. This is accomplished by either independent L1 sampling or with correlated L1 sampling to supplement an independent subset, which offers a more efficient decomposition: for a given t, a sparser decomposition is sufficient with correlated L1 sampling to satisfy a given additive error.
