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.

Gauss Sum Strong Simulation v.0.1

Universal quantum circuits can be formulated in the Pauli measurement-based formalism as input T gate magic states, Clifford gates, and then multi-Pauli measurements. This code simulates single-Pauli measurements to show some theoretical bounds on the cost of full multi-Pauli measurements.

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.

DAKOTA (Design Analysis Kit for Optimization and Terascale) v.6.14

Sandia's Dakota software supports science and engineering transformation through advanced exploration of simulations. Specifically, Dakota manages and analyzes ensembles of simulations to provide broader and deeper perspective for analysts and decision makers. This enables them to: (1) enhance understanding of risk, (2) improve products, and (3) assess simulation credibility. In its simplest mode, Dakota can automate typical parameter variation studies through a generic interface to a computational model. Dakota also delivers advanced parametric analysis techniques enabling design exploration, optimization, model calibration, risk analysis, and quantification of margins and uncertainty with such models. It directly supports verification and validation activities. The algorithms implemented in Dakota aim to address challenges in performing these analyses with complex science and engineering models from desktop to high performance computers.

Calibr8 v.1.0

Calibr8 provides an application to rapidly prototype and perform material model calibration for complex plasticity models using advanced adjoint or forward sensitivity analyses for execution on massively parallel machines. These techniques can be orders of magnitude faster than traditional finite difference approaches for material model calibration. The underlying technology used in Calibr8 is automatic differentiation, which allows for the rapid implementation and testing of new plasticity models within its framework. Additionally, Calibr8 can perform adjoint-based error estimation to approximate discretization errors for user-implemented plasticity models.

Exploration ToolKit (ExTK)

The Exploration Toolkit (ExTK) is a reusable Extended Reality (XR) system developed for incorporating and exploring 3-Dimensional (3-D) computer aided design (CAD) models in XR, with a primary focus on Augmented Reality (AR). The ExTK consists of a Developer Mode and a User Mode. In Developer Mode, ExTK provides developers with the ability to easily import 3-D CAD models and activate desired exploration functionality and layout. Multiple models can be added to a single instantiation of the ExTK using Unity's Scene capability. Exploration functions include scaling, rotating, explode/contract, animations, hiding parts, submodules, and measurement functions. In User Mode, ExTK provides a menu system that allows users to select models and initiate exploration functions. ExTK is architected for reusability and developers can customize the ExTK layout and functions according to application needs. ExTK is designed to be hardware agnostic, although initial development focused on the Microsoft HoloLens as the primary deployment platform. The ExTK is developed using the Unity Game Engine Development Platform.
