OrthoPhylo

This software builds on PHAME developed at LANL to generate phylogenetic trees of bacterial whole genome sequences. Where PHAME uses whole genome alignments to generate informative sites to base tress on, PHAME-OuS annotates bacterial genes, identifies orthologous sequences, aligns related proteins, uses those alignments to inform transcript alignments, then builds trees with several methods. The first is a conventional gene concatenation and ML tree estemation method. The second attempts to reconcile gene tree with a unified species tree using quartets (ASTRAL). Both methods allow filtering of gene lists on number of species represented, length, and gappiness in order to tune noise-to-signal for tree estimation

gpde

The R package gpde is an R implementation of a probabilistic differential equation solver. The package has a basic implementation of the Chkrebtii (2013) probabilistic ODE solver and an extension using the connection between Kalman Filtering for SDEs and Gaussian Processes from work by Simo Sarkka. The package also implements the Integrated Wiener covariance function from Schober 2014 to obtain probabilistic ODE solutions with the Runge-Kutta solution as the mean result. This collection of tools has been built into an R package for easy use at LANL and in the probabilistic numerics community.

HopPyBar

HopPyBar is a python program to import, analyze, and export split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB, also known as Kolsky bar) data. Traditional analysis offers a black box approach, where input data is converted to analyzed output by performing a series of calculations without user involvement. This program serves as a developmental platform to "white box" the data analysis process. Data streams can be captured (in-situ) to enable advanced or unconventional analyses, statistics, and comparisons. Additionally, the program is geared towards the standardized forms of input and output used at LANL to streamline analysis, but the open nature of the program makes additional input/output schemes straightforward to add. General workflow will import SHPB data in one of a number of formats, identify relevant portions of data signals, and convert to stress-strain-strain rate to show material behavior as a function of dynamic testing.

Quantum Application Specifications and Benchmarks

This software describes computational tasks for quantum computers that are derived from LANL basic science research applications such as the modeling of materials, chemicals and compounds at atomic scales. The computations focus on quantum simulation tasks, such as quantum dynamics, thermal state preparation and ground state estimation. The primary function of the software is to develop estimates of the requirements for large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers to solve these scientific computations. The secondary focus of the software are codes for assessing the limitations of conducting quantum computations on classical computers.

SuperNu Version 4.x

We seek to release SuperNu, Version 4.x, as a continuation of development for the open source SuperNu software. The SuperNu, Version 3.x Monte Carlo radiative transfer code for astrophysical transients was released with GPLv3 copyright, asserted by LANL in 2015. For the next release we have features planned for development , including: opacity implementation (including non-local thermodynamic equilibrium effects), generalized source implementation (e.g. for emulating shock heating in Type II supernovae), 3T (electron, ion, radiation) internal energy update, special relativity corrections through O(v^2/c^2), light polarization (e.g. for comparison to spectroplarimetry observations of supernovae and kilonovae), and infrastructure features (checkpoint and restart of simulations, and tools including setup and Slurm batch scripts and simulation post-processing/analysis scripts). These features are intended to improve the fidelity and/or better understand uncertainty in supernova and kilonova light curve calculations.

Code for the manuscript "Mori-Zwanzig Modal Decomposition"

We would like to create an open source repository in LANL's github on code written in Julia, in which we implement and extend the data-driven Mori-Zwanzig method for extracting large-scale spatio-temporal structures from data, which we call MZMD. This method is an extension of Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) in which Mori-Zwanzig memory kernels are included into the associated companion matrix. In the code we would like to release, we apply MZMD to a flow over a cylinder with Reynolds number 100 rather than the much larger data set used in the associated manuscript. DMD is used extensively in the fluid dynamics community mainly for extracting large scale spatio-temporal structures (patters) from flow data. This is useful for understanding the key mechanisms that generate certain complex dynamical process relevant in engineering design. In MZMD, we improve upon DMD by adding the Mori-Zwanzig memory kernels, and show this improvement is especially important in strongly nonlinear regions of the flow.

AI for Earthquake Physics

The core LANL program sponsored by Office of Science, Basic Energy Science, Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences (DOE-BES-CSGB) and led by PI Johnson aims to research earthquake faults to advance fault physics and earthquake hazards. All work completed is required to be made publicly available through publications and open-source codes supporting the published results. All routines are/will-be written in open source python and applied to publicly available data sets. These routines will format data from input into models, develop and test modeling frameworks for the problems addressed, and produce figures applicable to peer-reviewed manuscripts. All work is reviewed for Los Alamos Unlimited Release before submitting to a journal. This summary encompasses recently completed work and work to be complete for the duration of the program.

ENDF/B-VIII.1: Neutron Reaction Sublibrary

The neutrons sublibrary aims to describe nuclear reactions between incident neutron particles and different nuclei. For ENDF/B-VIII.1, many neutron files were re-evaluated or received major changes. A new 239Pu evaluation was jointly-produced by IAEA, LANL, LLNL and ORNL bringing important updates to fission neutron multiplicity, Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum, resonance and fast regions. Around one third of the new neutron evaluations were performed as part of the INDEN collaboration, including 16,18 O, 19 F, 28,29,30 Si, 63,65 Cu, 50,51,52,53,54 Cr, 55 Mn, 54,56,57 Fe, 139 La, 233,235,238 U, 240,241 Pu. Important non-INDEN evaluations include 234,236 U, 206,207,208 Pb, 181 Ta, 88 Sr, 140,142 Ce, Pt and Dy isotopes, and many others. Also, dosimetry reactions from IRDFF-II were adopted for many materials.

Disk Failure Dataset from the Campaign Storage System

This dataset consists of 1,389 disk (HDD) failure events collected from the Campaign storage system at LANL. The Campaign system supported various compute platforms throughout its lifespan, including Cielo, Fire, Ice, and notably, the Trinity supercomputer. Each recorded event includes its detection timestamp (in ISO 8601 format) and details such as its location within the storage system—rack, enclosure, and drive slot number. The data, spanning from May 4, 2021, to July 25, 2023 (2 years, 2 months, and 22 days), represents failure events from the terminal years of Campaign's operational period, accounting for 26% of its total operational time.

Group structure selection with random forests

Choosing an appropriate group structure for multigroup transport is far from an exact science. For some applications, one blindly uses a group structure developed years ago by forgotten methods. Furthermore, one sometimes uses the same group structure for a variety of problems, even if the group structure was originally developed with a certain application in mind. In this work, we create optimized group structures with simulated annealing for critical assembly test problems and apply a random forest regressor with bagging to choose the best group structure based on parameters of the different test problems. The optimized group structures were generated using a simulated annealing optimizer for several simple, spherical, and unreflected problems. The optimization was performed to minimize a cost function that included fission rate, absorption rate, leakage, and k{sub eff}. A random forest regressor was then trained on a set of International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project inputs and used to select one of these six group structures. The trained machine learning model chose the best group structure 65% of the time, and one of the three best 89% of the time. Furthermore, it decreased the L2 error over all test problems by a factor of 25 when compared to the standard Los Alamos 70-group structure. In other words, the model chose group structure that were far more appropriate for the test problems than the traditional LANL group structure. (authors)
