coloring v.1.0

SAND2024-02435O The software coloring allows applications written in the C++ language to generate publication-quality 2D plots. Its functionality is similar to Microsoft Excel's chart functionality or the Python language's matplotlib package. The value of coloring is that it is written purely in C++ and thus can be compiled on systems where Python is not available and linked into high performance computing software. For drawing shapes onto an image, coloring uses the mathematical definition of quadratic Bezier splines and uses Newton's method to search for the closest point on a spline to a given query point. This is then used to do accurate sub-pixel sampling to get clean, non-pixelated images. For working with the actual plot data, coloring has basic statistical methods such as finding maxima and minima as well as axis scaling such as logarithms.

TICC Clustering Library v.1.0

SAND2024-01234O TICC is a clustering algorithm that labels a sequence of data points according to numerical properties. This library is a Python implementation of the algorithm described in "Toeplitz Inverse Covariance-Based Clustering of Multivariate Time Series Data" (Hallac et al. 2017). It includes documentation, performance improvements, examples, and test coverage. This library allows users to automatically segment a series of multivariate data points according to their covariance—that is, the way the values at each data point are changing in relation to one another. This is useful for identifying periods in which a system is behaving. For example, if a sensor is measuring a car's velocity, steering wheel angle, braking and acceleration, TICC can determine when the car was stopped, beginning/exiting a turn, slowing or accelerating at an intersection, or driving on straight or curved roads. TICC can be applied to measure multiple quantities at known times.

HiFiPDV2 v. 2

SAND2024-01061O The HiFiPDV-2 software is similar to other photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) analysis codes in that it converts signals from intensity-time space to frequency-time space using a short-time Fourier transform (STFT). It then analyzes peaks of the resulting power spectral density information to extract the velocity-time history. The unique aspects of HiFiPDV and HiFiPDV-2 are that this reduction process is repeated for an array of reasonable STFT input variables. The resulting population distribution of output velocity-time histories is evaluated to determine the most likely velocity history and its associated uncertainty. This uncertainty is defined as the systematic uncertainty of the PDV signal as it is a function of input values to the reduction process. The HiFiPDV-2 program brings new functionality and efficiency to these calculations—most notably significant reductions in memory usage and calculation times, the ability to evaluate frequency-shifted signals, and the ability to filter out baseline signals. Developers recommend that users have at least 2 GB of RAM per CPU core in their system.

Qthreads Support for MPICH

SAND2024-00944O Qthread Support for MPICH is software that provides additions needed to enable the use of the Qthreads library. The high-performance message passing interface (MPICH) is an open-source implementation of MPI mainly developed and distributed by Argonne National Laboratory. Qthreads is a lightweight, user-level threading library developed and distributed by Sandia National Laboratories. MPICH currently supports Posix threads, Windows threads, and Argobots. This software enables parallel programs built with the MPICH implementation of MPI to use Qthreads user-level threads rather than Posix system-level threads. The software uses existing infrastructure in MPICH to interface to the Qthreads library. The existing interfaces in MPICH allow for creating, destroying, and managing the execution of multiple threads within a process and this software translates these calls to the equivalent Qthreads library functions.

TwinMe4AD: WGAN-based Digital Twins for Anomaly Detection

SAND2024-08373O TwinMe4AD is a Python-based software tool designed for anomaly detection using digital twins that closely mimic real, wearable healthcare datasets. The tool is invaluable for scenarios where collecting data is either expensive or impractical, serving as a privacy-preserving solution. Sensitive information is protected by training deep learning models on synthetic data derived from real datasets. One of TwinMe4AD's key features is its anomaly detection capability, which is based on fourth-order moments of parameters. This versatile approach can be applied across a range of datasets, from univariate to multivariate, making it compatible with various types of data. It also generates synthetic twins using Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGANs), allowing users to create a small cohort of a population similar to that of a village population.

PARAFAC_T1

This is a method of performing trilinear analysis on large data sets using a modification of the PARAFAC-ALS algorithm. It iteratively decomposes the data matrix into a core matrix and three loading matrices based on the Tucker1 model. The algorithm is particularly useful for data sets that are too large to upload into a computer?s main memory. While the performance advantage in utilizing our algorithm is dependent on the number of data elements and dimensions of the data array, we have seen a significant performance improvement over operating PARAFAC-ALS on the full data set.
