Economic Impact of Harvesting Corn Stover under Time Constraint: The Case of North Dakota

This study examines the impact of stochastic harvest field time on profit maximizing potential of corn cob/stover collection in North Dakota. Three harvest options are analyzed using mathematical programming models. Our findings show that under the first corn grain only harvest option, farmers are able to complete harvesting corn grain and achieve maximum net income in a fairly short amount of time with existing combine technology. However, under the second simultaneous corn grain and cob (one-pass) harvest option, farmers generate lower net income compared to the net income of the first option. This is due to the slowdown in combine harvest capacity as a consequence of harvesting corn cobs. Under the third option of separate corn grain and stover (two-pass) harvest option, time allocation is the main challenge and our evidence shows that with limited harvest field time available, farmers find it optimal to allocate most of their time harvesting grain and then proceed to harvest and bale stover if time permits at the end of harvest season. The overall findings suggest is that it would be more economically efficient to allow a firm that is specialized in collecting biomass feedstock to participate in cob/stover harvest business.

Adaptive Sampling Proxy Application

ASPA is an implementation of an adaptive sampling algorithm [1-3], which is used to reduce the computational expense of computer simulations that couple disparate physical scales. The purpose of ASPA is to encapsulate the algorithms required for adaptive sampling independently from any specific application, so that alternative algorithms and programming models for exascale computers can be investigated more easily.

Global-Address Networking (GASNet-1) Library

GASNet is a language-independent, networking middleware layer that provides network-independent, high-performance communication primitives including Remote Memory Access (RMA) and Active Messages (AM). It has been used to implement parallel programming models and libraries such as UPC, Co-Array Fortran, Titanium, Legion, Chapel, and many others. The interface is primarily intended as a compilation target and for use by runtime library writers (as opposed to end users), and the primary goals are high performance, interface portability, and expressiveness. GASNet stands for "Global-Address Space Networking".

ButterflyPACK

ButterflyPACK is a mathematical software for rapidly solving large-scale dense linear systems that exhibit off-diagonal rank-deficiency properties. These targeted systems are either matrices arising from discretized boundary integral equations, or frontal matrices in multi-frontal solvers for differential equations. ButterflyPACK relies on low-rank and butterfly formats under Hierarchical matrix, HODLR or HSS frameworks to compress, factor/precondition and solve the linear system in quasi-linear time. ButterflyPACK is particularly useful for large-scale ill-conditioned matrices arising from high-frequency wave equations involving multiple right-hand-sides. ButterflyPACK is based on Fortran 2003, it also has interface written in C++. In addition, ButterflyPACK can be readily invoked from the software STRUMPACK. ButterflyPACK supports hybrid MPI/OpenMP programming models.

ExaTN

A challenging scientific problem that will benefit from exascale computing is predictive simulation of two- and three-dimensional quantum many-body Hamiltonians in condensed matter physics, together with the related strong entanglement problems in quantum chemistry and quantum computing. Efficient numerical simulations will require new insights into wavefunction compression algorithms that scale on extremely heterogeneous HPC architectures. To address this need, we propose to develop a scalable math library of parallel multi-linear algebraic numerical primitives for hierarchical tensor compression. Our library will subsequently be used for building an efficient, performance-portable HPC framework for simulating strongly correlated quantum systems. In particular, our will will be the first to deliver a massively parallel implementation of the multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA), a hierarchical tensor decomposition quantum scheme capable of expressing local expectation values of strongly entangled higher-dimensional quantum systems efficiently. To address the extreme complexity and high computational cost of such schemes, we will automate their parallel implementation by delivering an integrated software framework, ExaTN (Exascale Tensor Networks), that will process hierarchical tensor representations on exascale HPC systems via an asymchronous task-based programming model. As a specific application, our framework will provide scientists with a capability of simulating strongly entangled quantum systems, thus positioning ORNL as a strategic leader in modeling of strongly correlated materials.

ECP-copa/ExaMiniMD

ExaMiniMD is a proxy application for Molecular Dynamics (MD) codes such as LAMMPS. Its intend is to facilitate research and development on MD algorithms in particular in the context of CoDesign efforts with hardware vendors. Currently, ExaMiniMD implements a basic Lennard Jones two body potential as well as the SNAP many body potential, both of which are available in LAMMPS. It also includes basic neighbor list builds as well as constant energy integration as found in LAMMPS and other MD codes. A feature not generally available in other MD codes is a set of statistical correctness checks which will help other developers judge whether changes to the code still give correct answers. ExaMiniMD is using the Kokkos programming model to achieve performance portability and is able to run across all major HPC platforms (GPUs, ManyCore, CPUs).
