Tracking the topology of neural manifolds across populations

Neural manifolds summarize the intrinsic structure of the information encoded by a population of neurons. Advances in experimental techniques have made simultaneous recordings from multiple brain regions increasingly commonplace, raising the possibility of studying how these manifolds relate across populations. However, when the manifolds are nonlinear and possibly code for multiple unknown variables, it is challenging to extract robust and falsifiable information about their relationships. We introduce a framework, called the method of analogous cycles, for matching topological features of neural manifolds using only observed dissimilarity matrices within and between neural populations. We demonstrate via analysis of simulations and in vivo experimental data that this method can be used to correctly identify multiple shared circular coordinate systems across both stimuli and inferred neural manifolds. Conversely, the method rejects matching features that are not intrinsic to one of the systems. Further, as this method is deterministic and does not rely on dimensionality reduction or optimization methods, it is amenable to direct mathematical investigation and interpretation in terms of the underlying neural activity. We thus propose the method of analogous cycles as a suitable foundation for a theory of cross-population analysis via neural manifolds.

Generation of group constants at GRS for the Rostov-2 benchmark

The OECD/NEA benchmark entitled 'Reactivity compensation of boron dilution by stepwise insertion of control rod cluster into the VVER-1000 core' aims at validating and assessing high fidelity multi-physics simulation code capabilities by comparison with the high-quality measurements performed at the nuclear power plant Rostov unit 2. The benchmark is divided into 2 phases: assembly wise and pin-by-pin resolution of the multi-physics problems. Multi-physics simulation requires the generation of an accurate parametrized few-group cross-section library, and so this benchmark offers an opportunity to validate the methodology for their generation. Based on the specifications of the benchmark, the core simulator KMACS developed at GRS was used to generate a library of cross-sections as well as the burnup distribution required to model the transient scenario of the benchmark at the assembly level. The assessment of the library is performed through comparison with measured values obtained at the initial state of the transient. Good agreement was obtained in terms of critical boron concentration, peaking factors and power profiles. (authors)

Equilipy: a python package for calculating phase equilibria

The CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) approach (Nigel Saunders & Miodownik, 1998) provides predictions for thermodynamically stable phases in multicomponent-multiphase materials across a wide range of temperatures. Consequently, the CALPHAD calculations became an essential tool in materials and process design (Luo, 2015). Such design tasks frequently require navigating a high-dimensional space due to multiple components involved in the system. This increasing complexity demands high-throughput CALPHAD calculations, especially in the rapidly evolving field of alloy design. In response to the need, we developed Equilipy an open-source Python package designed for calculating phase equilibria of multicomponent-multiphase systems. Equilipy is specifically tailored for high-throughput CALPHAD calculations, offering parallel computations across multiple processors and nodes with the given NPT input conditions namely elemental compositions (N), pressure (P), and temperature (T). Equilipy utilizes the program structure and Gibbs energy functions from the Fortran-based program, Thermochimica (Piro et al., 2013), with incorporating a new Gibbs energy minimization algorithm. This algorithm, originally developed by Capitani and Brown in 1987 (Capitani & Brown, 1987), has been revised and implemented to enhance the stability and performance of calculations. The Fortran codes are precompiled and interfaced with Python via F2PY, ensuring high computation speed. Benchmark tests shown in Figure 1 demonstrate that Equilipy’s computation speed is comparable to those of established commercial software, TC-Python and PanPython. This result highlights its efficiency and potential applications in various scientific and industrial fields.

Universal Optimization and Tighter Fidelity Bounds for Approximate Quantum Error Correction

Approximate quantum error correction (AQEC) not only dictates the performance of discrete- and continuous-variable quantum error correction codes but also serves as a unifying framework across various physical disciplines. Identifying the optimal recovery channel to maximize the entanglement fidelity via standard semidefinite programming is computationally bottlenecked by the exponentially growing number of Kraus operators with system size, rendering large-scale optimization prohibitive. While analytical near-optimal maps exist, they typically work only when the Knill-Laflamme conditions are nearly satisfied. In this Letter, we establish an efficient framework by leveraging the duality between recovery and environment decoupling. This framework yields a tighter analytical lower bound on entanglement fidelity than the conventional limit set by the transpose channel. Furthermore, by exploiting the decayed weights of noise Kraus operators, we introduce a framework based on principal component analysis to reduce the dimension. In thermal loss channels where the weights decay exponentially, our approach achieves a 33-fold computational speedup while maintaining rigorous accuracy. Our approach enables high-precision optimization for AQEC codes that were previously intractable due to the curse of dimensionality.

ExaWorks software development kit: a robust and scalable collection of interoperable workflows technologies

Scientific discovery increasingly requires executing heterogeneous scientific workflows on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms. Heterogeneous workflows contain different types of tasks (e.g., simulation, analysis, and learning) that need to be mapped, scheduled, and launched on different computing. That requires a software stack that enables users to code their workflows and automate resource management and workflow execution. Currently, there are many workflow technologies with diverse levels of robustness and capabilities, and users face difficult choices of software that can effectively and efficiently support their use cases on HPC machines, especially when considering the latest exascale platforms. We contributed to addressing this issue by developing the ExaWorks Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK is a curated collection of workflow technologies engineered following current best practices and specifically designed to work on HPC platforms. We present our experience with (1) curating those technologies, (2) integrating them to provide users with new capabilities, (3) developing a continuous integration platform to test the SDK on DOE HPC platforms, (4) designing a dashboard to publish the results of those tests, and (5) devising an innovative documentation platform to help users to use those technologies. Our experience details the requirements and the best practices needed to curate workflow technologies, and it also serves as a blueprint for the capabilities and services that DOE will have to offer to support a variety of scientific heterogeneous workflows on the newly available exascale HPC platforms.

Computer Science Research Needs for Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES)

Historically, scientific computing efforts have demonstrated the clear need for, and effective use of, supercomputing with traditional time-stepped simulations. Nevertheless, there are several areas in the mission spaces of the U.S. Department of Energy and other agencies waiting to tap advanced computing research using a different, discrete event style of modeling, simulation, and analysis. These span a wide spectrum of applications including energy grid resilience, urban planning and policy, transportation science, building technologies, emergency response and planning, environmental impact analysis, computational epidemiology, Internet communications, cyber security, and cyber-physical systems, to name only a few. Even within traditional scientific applications, the role of discrete event modes of execution is increasing in the form of new event-based mathematical solvers such as quantized state integration methods and discrete-continuous hybrid system solvers. Co-design of advanced supercomputing hardware systems is another area that exploits discrete event simulation at its core for effective analyses. Complex systems, entity behaviors and interconnections play a significant role in all these applications, which are mapped to large-scale models with discrete event formulations. To make advancements in all the aforementioned scientific areas, many technical aspects need to be more thoroughly studied and deeply understood in parallel discrete event simulation (PDES). The unique dynamics inherent in a discrete event modeling approach, by their very nature, intersect and influence the entire stack of the computing system, including (a) the unique nature of the instruction sets exercised in PDES workloads without a predominance of high-precision floating point operations, (b) virtual time-constrained multi-threaded execution of many logical processes per processor, (c) extremely variable and difficult to predict network traffic characteristics, (d) interfaces and inter-dependencies with machine learning and artificial intelligence codes at higher software layers, and (e) highly challenging load balancing needs, especially in effectively accounting for accelerated/extremely heterogeneous computing in current and future high-performance computing systems. Efficient and accurate parallel execution of PDES workloads is also dominated by challenges in dealing with their asynchronous concurrency fundamentally present at the model level. Conservative synchronization, optimistic/speculative synchronization, and their hybrid schemes open new questions in fundamental computer science with respect to reversibility of computation and prediction (lookahead) of behaviors inherent within model codes. On the implementation front, there are relatively few scalable, general-purpose parallel discrete event simulators in the world, and even fewer have been studied on emerging hardware platforms. To enable scientific advances using PDES, the research needs in computer science must also be pursued and met in the intersection of the algorithmic and hardware-aware aspects of scalable PDES engines. This report is aimed at capturing a computer science-oriented view of this important area of research in PDES, presenting a sample of important applications with their inherent discrete event technology elements. Needs are outlined in core areas of parallel discrete event research as well as cross-cutting directions in computer science research that positively impact scientific advancements across several important application areas. A selection of priority research opportunities in advanced computing for PDES is identified to serve as reference for key research topics and their order of importance for scientific advancements.

Expanded Capabilities and Opportunities for Virtual Beamline Code

In the 25 years since LLNL broke ground on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) - a cornerstone of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Stockpile Stewardship Program - the NIF and Photon Science (NIF&PS) Directorate has steadily pushed the boundaries of laser physics, nonlinear optics, and photonics in service of inertial confinement fusion experiments, and advanced photon sources development. Beyond the 192 beamlines of the primary laser facility with its world-record energy and fusion yields, NIF&PS capabilities have expanded to include chirped-pulse amplification, kilojoule petawatt-class short-pulse systems to generate hard x-ray radiographic probes, high-average power lasers as secondary sources for generation or wake field particle acceleration along directed energy applications, and other scientific pursuits. The Computing Directorate partners with NIF&PS on numerous projects and technologies from diagnostic measurements and high performance control systems to data analysis, information technology infrastructure, and scientific simulation code development. “This strong collaboration enables cutting-edge science, particularly with regard to physics-based modeling and simulation,” says physicist Jean-Michel Di Nicola. One crucial capability for NIF&PS is the Virtual Beamline (VBL) laser simulation code. It can model all the major laser physics and technology involved in the design optimization, commissioning, and operations of advanced laser architectures from tabletop to NIF-scale. VBL provides researchers with high-fidelity models and high-resolution calculations of laser performance predictions—including for the entire NIF laser system, the Advanced Radiographic Capability, parts of the High Repetition-Rate Advanced Petawatt Laser System laser delivered to the Czech Republic, and the Optical Science Laser. After more than two decades of experimentally verified physics and computing enhancements, this unique workhorse code is wrapping up another major milestone: migration from Java to C++ with a flurry of user interface and optimization features, as well as laser physics and high-resolution enhancements thanks to parallel execution on Livermore Computing platforms.

Bringing randomized algorithms to mainstream numerical linear algebra

Numerical linear algebra (NLA) underpins huge swaths of computational science and engineering. For scientists and engineers to make the most of the DOE’s computing resources, it is essential that they have access to high-performance implementations of algorithms with best-in-class scalability and reliability. Despite this, prevailing NLA libraries have little to no support for breakthrough algorithms from the field of randomized numerical linear algebra (RandNLA) that have been developed over the past twenty years. The goal of this LDRD was to break a log-jam that had prevented broad adoption of RandNLA. Our work had two thrusts. The first was to develop RandBLAS: a trustworthy and high-performance C++ library for randomized dimension reduction (an operation widely known as sketching). The second was the development of a novel randomized algorithm for computing a challenging type of matrix decomposition known as Householder QR with column pivoting (Householder QRCP). In this one-year late-start LDRD we successfully delivered RandBLAS 1.0 and new CPU and GPU codes for Householder QRCP. RandBLAS has extensive documentation at https://randblas.readthedocs.io/en/stable/. Papers on RandBLAS and and our high-performance QRCP codes are forthcoming.

Separatrix-to-Wall Simulations of Impurity Transport with a Fully Three-Dimensional Wall in DIII-D

A novel multi-code workflow to interpret collector probe deposition patterns in DIII-D has been developed. The components of the workflow consist of a detailed computer-aided design (CAD) file of the vessel wall and the scrape-off layer (SOL) codes MAFOT, OSM, DIVIMP and 3DLIM. A special-purpose toolkit enables passing the output of these codes between each other to provide a full-SOL picture of impurity transport. A demonstration of the workflow is described to support evidence of near-SOL tungsten parallel accumulation during trace W impurity experiments on DIII-D. Iteration between simulated deposition patterns in 3DLIM and DIVIMP predicts a region of elevated W density near the separatrix about halfway between the outboard midplane and the top of the plasma. Furthermore, this workflow will be used to better interpret collector probe experiments on DIII-D.

Sierra/SolidMechanics 5.6 User's Manual

Sierra/SolidMechanics (Sierra/SM) is a three-dimensional solid mechanics code with a versatile element library, nonlinear material models, large deformation capabilities, and contact. It is built on the SIERRA Framework. SIERRA provides a data management framework in a parallel computing environment that allows the addition of capabilities in a modular fashion. Contact capabilities are parallel and scalable. This document provides information about the functionality in Sierra/SM and the command structure required to access this functionality in a user input file. This document is divided into chapters based primarily on functionality. For example, the command structure related to the use of various element types is grouped in one chapter; descriptions of material models are grouped in another chapter. Sierra/SM provides both explicit transient dynamics and implicit quasistatics and dynamics capabilities. Both the explicit and implicit modules are highly scalable in a parallel computing environment. In the past, the explicit and implicit capabilities were provided by two separate codes, known as Presto and Adagio, respectively. These capabilities have been consolidated into a single code. The executable is named Adagio, but it provides the full suite of solid mechanics capabilities, for both implicit and explicit. The Presto executable has been disabled as a consequence of this consolidation.

Additional Data Focused on Phase 1 Geared Toward Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) validation

A new validation campaign was developed within the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continued, with Correlation and unCertainty (OC6) to better understand the complex interactions between components of a floating wind system (e.g., columns, pontoons, etc.) in a more generic sense, and to validate modeling approaches for a variety of floating designs. A set of cylinders based on the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration Continuation (OC4)-DeepCwind semidesign were tested under wave loading, both individually and in different combinations (including the attachment of heave plates of different sizes). The cylinders were held rigid, and pressure sensors were used to measure the distributed loading on the structures, while load cells measured the total integrated hydrodynamic loads.

Visualization techniques for the gyrokinetic tokamak simulation code

Gyrokinetic simulations of plasma microturbulence in tokamaks are challenging to visualize because the compute grid follows the magnetic field lines that spiral around the torus. We have overcome this challenge by developing three new approaches that improve visualization of gyrokinetics. Our techniques work directly with the topology of magnetic flux surfaces where the simulation stores variables in concentric rings on poloidal planes (vertical cross sections of the torus). Our visualization preview step triangulates each consecutive pair of rings to display the data on a poloidal plane. The second visualization technique follows spiral field lines around the torus and constructs polygons to visualize a flux surface. Third, the poloidal triangles are connected between planes to form prisms that compose a 3-D model of the entire torus. The visualization workflow produces detailed geometry that matches the high resolution, irregular compute grid for every time step. The surface and solid models are displayed in scientific visualization programs to effectively explore and communicate the results, including fluctuation of electron density, ion temperature, and electrostatic potential. Highly detailed renderings verify plasma behavior along magnetic field lines over time.

A hybrid-kinetic simulation tool for non-thermal warm x-ray z-pinch sources, with gas-puff and wire array exemplars

Increasing the fluence of z-pinch x-ray radiation sources above ∼ 10 keV has been a long-standing goal for scientists at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z Machine. Optimizing sources for non-thermal “cold Kα” emission in higher atomic-number materials appears to be a promising path to increase warm x-ray yield. However, this emission is generated by supra-thermal electrons, which are not treated in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) codes that are typically used in z-pinch source development. MHD codes do not allow for charge separation or space-charge-generated electric fields, and constrain particle kinematics to Maxwellian distributions. The kinetic codes which do accommodate discrete, non-thermal energy distributions are computationally prohibitive when modeling plasmas near solid density and when modeling/tracking higher ionization states. Thus, modeling non-thermal z-pinch sources requires a new simulation tool. In this report, we present a new hybrid modeling capability that uses the fast features of MHD-type particles to the greatest extent possible, then transitions to the slower but more complete kinetic particle treatment to correctly capture the particle energy spectra that generate non-thermal emission. This capability is founded on the fully-relativistic particle-in-cell code Chicago, which already includes fluid particle treatments. The governing equations and hybrid methodology presented here are applied in simulations of an argon gas-puff and a molybdenum wire-array to provide preliminary code validation. The argon simulation is compared to measured implosion times and yields from Jones et al., Phys. Plasmas 22, 020706 (2015). The simulated x-ray yield is within 25% of measurements and the implosion times agree within a few percent. The molybdenum wire array simulation captures the implosion timing reported in Hansen et al., Phys. Plasmas 21, 031202 (2014), but work is needed to verify the available EOS table. These exemplar simulations represents the type of non-thermal sources that will be developed using the hybrid code capability going forward.

Comparison of tungsten versus molybdenum for double shell capsules using machine learning design optimization

Double shell targets are an alternative ignition platform for inertial confinement fusion. One design consideration for double shell targets is the choice of inner shell material to help trap radiation emitted by the hot fuel to aid ignition. Materials such as molybdenum and tungsten are of interest for the inner shell layer of the targets. While molybdenum has a lower density that could inhibit instability growth and allow for radiography and code benchmarking, tungsten has a higher density that could provide more compression and confinement. These tradeoffs have been explored using optimized designs for each material. Our previous work [Vazirani et al., “Coupling 1D xRAGE simulations with machine learning for graded inner shell design optimization in double shell capsules,” Phys. Plasmas 28, 122709 (2021); Vazirani et al., “Coupling multi-fidelity xRAGE with machine learning for graded inner shell design optimization in double shell capsules,” Phys. Plasmas 30, 062704 (2023); and Vazirani et al., “Bayesian batch optimization for molybdenum versus tungsten inertial confinement fusion double shell target design,” Stat. Anal. Data Min. 17, e11698 (2024)] resulted in a multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization framework to find yield-optimized double shell target geometries. By leveraging simulations of varying fidelities (one-dimensional and two-dimensional) to inform one another, the multi-fidelity optimization was able to optimize a design in the highest fidelity with significantly fewer simulations than would be used in a systematic parameter scan. In this work, we apply the multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization to explore the optimized designs of double shell targets with molybdenum and tungsten inner shells as well as the physics producing the high performing implosions. A physics exploration of all the simulations used in this study shows trends in designs that contribute to high yields, ion temperatures, and fuel areal densities. Comparison of molybdenum and tungsten simulations shows that they can produce similar implosion conditions with different geometries, which would be important to study in experiments. Graded density layers produce varying performances with the two materials but continue to be of interest for future studies along with studies of doped inner shell materials and applied surface roughness.

High Fidelity CFD Simulations Supporting the KP-FHR

Kairos Power, LLC, is developing its version of the Fluoride-cooled High-temperature Reactor, the KP-FHR. The design uses a pebble bed core with fluoride salt as a coolant. The pebbles used in the KP-FHR have a diameter of 4 cm, with a shell fuel region where TRISO particles are embedded. A Pebble bed core design is adopted by several Gen IV reactors, They boast many benefits, such as fuel integrity, highly efficient heat transfer, and passive safety. However, it is challenging to accurately predict temperature and flow inside a pebble bed. Traditional approaches use the porous media model, which regards the pebble bed as a continuous medium, but with different temperature fields representing different levels, such as the fluid temperature, pebble surface temperature, and pebble center temperature. Empirical heat transfer correlations are adopted to calculate the heat transfer coefficient between different phases. However, empirical correlations are usually validated with experimental data, which usually lacks detail inside the pebble bed. The available experimental data is also generally at a high Reynolds number, which falls outside of the conditions of KP-FHR. Explicit computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of randomly packed pebble beds have only become feasible recently. This is thanks to the rapid development of computational power and scalable algorithms. In this work, we used the Spectral Element Method (SEM) CFD code NekRS to simulate the randomly packed pebble bed in a cylindrical container. NekRS, which is the GPU variant of Nek5000, but refactored to utilize the computational power of GPUs using the OCCA library to run on hybrid architecture high performance computing systems. It was initially developed with the libParamunal library, but truncated and tuned for large-scale turbulence simulation. As a result, the SEM reaches higher precision with the same degrees of freedom by using a high-order Lagrange polynomial basis distributed on Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre quadrature inside each element, compared to lower-order methods, such the Finite Volume Method and Finite Element Method. The report is divided into five parts. We start with a general discussion of the pebble bed reactor, along with a specific investigation into the KP-FHR. The second part presents the numerical methodology. In the third part, we study a modular pebble bed with 1741 pebbles in a container of 7 pebble-diameter radius. Beyond LES simulations done by NekRS, we also leveraged the thermal radiation model in OpenFOAM to study heat transfer under no-forced-flow scenarios. Then, in the fourth part we simulated a pebble bed similar to the size of the Hermes Test Reactor. The total number of pebbles is in these simulations is 34,374. The container radius is 14 pebble-diameters. Finally, the report concludes in part five, with a discussion of future work.

The General Atomic and Molecular Electronic Structure System (GAMESS): Novel Methods on Novel Architectures

The primary focus of GAMESS over the last 5 years has been the development of new high-performance codes that are able to take effective and efficient advantage of the most advanced computer architectures, both CPU and accelerators. These efforts include employing density fitting and fragmentation methods to reduce the high scaling of well-correlated (e.g., coupled-cluster) methods as well as developing novel codes that can take optimal advantage of graphical processing units and other modern accelerators. Because accurate wave functions can be very complex, an important new functionality in GAMESS is the quasi-atomic orbital analysis, an unbiased approach to the understanding of covalent bonds embedded in the wave function. Finally, best practices for the maintenance and distribution of GAMESS are also discussed.

Performance Versus Maintainability: A Case Study of Scream on Frontier

The Simple Cloud-Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (Scream) won the inaugural ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling. While most of Scream is portable Kokkos code, the Gordon-Bell runs did include tuning specifically for Frontier, the exascale computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Production science runs use the same high-level configuration of Scream, but the tuned kernels do not meet the software standards necessary to merge into the production code base. This work describes experiments to refactor these kernels to meet the maintainability requirements of the production Scream code base while preserving high performance.

Benchmark Tracking System for Performance Monitoring

Benchmarking is essential for high-performance software development, particularly for monitoring performance across code iterations. This project focused on enhancing the benchmarking process for Lamellar, an asynchronous runtime for High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Prior to this work, benchmark results were difficult to track and compare across code versions, presenting significant challenges in identifying performance regressions and long-term trends. The primary objective was to establish a systematic, reproducible approach for measuring performance and detecting regressions following code commits. Our methodology involved three key components: standardizing benchmark outputs, implementing data versioning, and developing analysis tools. We standardized the benchmark output format to JSON Line records containing specific fields (execution time, hardware specifications, and environmental variables). To address data management challenges, we evaluated several options and eventually chose a git repository dedicated to benchmark data. We developed a suite of Python tools that processed benchmark results, enriched them with metadata, and facilitated search in the repository. The resulting system enables more efficient filtering and comparison of performance metrics across commit histories, hardware configurations, and benchmark variants through a unified query interface. Our implementation reduces computational overhead by first checking for existing results through configuration matching before initiating new benchmark runs, thereby conserving resources. The system has been validated by Lamellar developers. It organizes results by benchmark type and build configurations for efficient retrieval. Future developments include a planned Large Language Model interface for predicting benchmark performance, incorporating the criterion package for statistical analysis, which will enable automated detection of statistically significant performance changes, and integration with continuous integration pipelines. Despite these enhancements being reserved for future work, this project has successfully provided the Lamellar development team with a framework for maintaining consistent performance standards and identifying optimization opportunities across workloads and hardware environments.
