CRADL captures performance metrics of machine learning algorithms operating on mesh data from multiphysics codes This proxy application is a tool to explore scalability of inference on HPC platforms, and also gather performance metrics for inference on new machine learning specific hardware. CRADL is designed to give users as fine a control as possible over an inference simulation. Users may select the number of cycles, amount of data, and batch size to pass to the accelerator of choice. Additionally the user may select a number of performance optimization libraries and flags. CRADL comes packaged with a repository of anonymized multi-physics simulation data, as well as a pretrained model for inference. The code allows a user to load their own pre-trained model and data if they wish. The code can operate in multiple parallelization schemes, with performance enhancing options such as half-precision libraries, PyTorch benchmarking, and pinned memory with non-blocking data transfers.
This is a web service that allows users to query a set of genome databases to find matches for specific genes. Genesearch provides endpoints for interactive and batch homology searches that identify alignments between a query sequence and the sequences in a genomics database.
There is a rising need for the measurement and understanding of hydrogen transport properties in materials for the energy and transportation industries. The Hydrogen Permeation Analysis Tool (HyPAT) provides a user friendly interface for batch analysis of dynamic hydrogen permeation data to calculate the transport properties permeability, solubility, and diffusivity. A built in literature database provides an easy comparison to known values. A common method for measuring these hydrogen transport properties is dynamic pressure rise permeation experiments, for example, those done in the Static Gas Absorption and Permeation (SGAP) experiment at INL. Most laboratories develop individual, in-house codes for data analysis. HyPAT provides a platform that can be adopted by other user groups for such experimental analysis and significantly reduce personnel time spent performing data analysis.

The output is an online dashboard containing various sequencing statistics for each sample and an integrated IGV plugin enabling rapid analysis of aligned NGS reads.
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.
Simulation tool for electrical grid security. It is possible to select from pre-loaded power system topologies, enable different grid controls (like AGC, power system stabilizer), add faults, tweak different parameters, add pre-modeled attack scenarios, and run batch simulations to generate data needed for research.
Build Optimization Software Tools (BOOST) accelerate the design of DNA, RNA and protein sequences for their synthesis and assembly in an automated and scalable fashion. The BOOST Juggler automates the following two design tasks: - Reverse-Translation of protein sequences into DNA sequences - Codon Juggling of DNA sequences The BOOST Polisher provides the following design tasks: - The Verification of DNA sequences against DNA synthesis constraints - The Modification of DNA sequences in case they violate any DNA synthesis constraint In addition, the BOOST Polisher can be instructed to verify and modify DNA sequences against sequence patterns, such as restriction sites. The BOOST Partitioner supports both Gibson/chewback and Yeast assembly (also known as Transformation-Associated Recombination, or TAR) methods when performing the decomposition of large sequences that exceed the maximum length of DNA synthesis into synthesizable building blocks. The Partitioner can be instructed to find building blocks with appropriate overlap sequences, making their assembly into the complete construct more efficient. BOOST Workflows enable, in a customized fashion, the execution of the Juggler, Polisher, and Partitioner tools on a batch of sequences.
The software contains (a) the source codes to generate Point-on-Wave (PoW) transient data for any feeder model in Alternative Transient Program (ATP) format. Codes provide options to change different steady state settings, including the loading condition and PV capacity and transient state setting like faults type, location and initiation time (b) data post-processing source code to converted data from native format to COMTRADE, csv, HDF5 (c) Docker container to train CNN to classify fault locations by protective zone. The container takes dataset and other training parameters (sampling rate, training epochs, batch size etc) as input to train CNN. The container writes back the trained CNN model, training and testing metrics and plots to the local workstation
This code can read in videos or images in either a batch or real-time format. Videos are broken up into frames, and the frames are processed using an optical flow algorithm to decipher movement between adjacent frames. This adherent movement is ran through a convolutional neural network that automatically classifies the contents of the video. Additional content inside the code aids with noisy images and removal of nuisance movement.

The robust nature of the non-conventional yeast Issatchenkia orientalis allows it to grow under highly acidic conditions and therefore, has gained increasing interest in producing organic acids using a variety of carbon sources. Recently, the development of a genetic toolbox for I. orientalis, including an episomal plasmid, characterization of multiple promoters and terminators, and CRISPR-Cas9 tools, has eased the metabolic engineering efforts in I. orientalis. However, multiplex engineering is still hampered by the lack of efficient multicopy integration tools. To facilitate the construction of large, complex metabolic pathways by multiplex CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing, we developed a bioinformatics pipeline to identify and prioritize genome-wide intergenic loci and characterized 47 gRNAs located in 21 intergenic regions. These loci are screened for guide RNA cutting efficiency, integration efficiency of a gene cassette, the resulting cellular fitness, and GFP expression level. We further developed a landing pad system using components from these well-characterized loci, which can aid in the integration of multiple genes using single guide RNA and multiple repair templates of the user’s choice. We have demonstrated the use of the landing pad for simultaneous integrations of 2, 3, 4, or 5 genes to the target loci with efficiencies greater than 80%. As a proof of concept, we showed how the production of 5-aminolevulinic acid can be improved by integrating five copies of genes at multiple sites in one step. We have further demonstrated the efficiency of this tool by constructing a metabolic pathway for succinic acid production by integrating five gene expression cassettes using a single guide RNA along with five different repair templates, leading to the production of 9 g/L of succinic acid in batch fermentations. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a single gRNA-mediated CRISPR platform to build complex metabolic pathways in a non-conventional yeast. This landing pad system will be a valuable tool for the metabolic engineering of I. orientalis.
This algorithm can process small or large (>1000 curves) batches of data and output arrays with the reduction peak start, end, halfway point, and area in each curve in a file of the user's choice
We propose TransPlatformer for translating toxicogenomics from one platform to another. Transcriptomic profiling has evolved through multiple generations of technology, from microarrays (e.g., Affymetrix, CodeLink) to more recent high-throughput sequencing and targeted panels such as S1500+. Microarrays, which dominated gene expression studies in the early 2000s, provided affordable and high-throughput transcript quantification but suffered from cross-hybridization issues and limited dynamic range . RNA-Seq, introduced in the late 2000s, revolutionized transcriptomics by enabling unbiased and comprehensive gene expression analysis, albeit at higher costs and computational demands . Despite advances, many studies rely on historical microarray data, necessitating the translation of legacy data into modern platforms to ensure continuity and comparability. This translation is complicated by factors such as platform-specific probe design, differences in transcript coverage, and batch effects . Existing methods for cross-platform mapping include statistical normalization, machine learning models, and biological anchoring approaches. The ability to translate transcriptomic data between platforms has broad implications, including enhanced meta-analyses, improved toxicological modeling, and better integration of historical datasets with contemporary research. TransPlatformer seeks to contribute to this effort by evaluating translation methodologies and proposing novel strategies to improve cross-platform gene expression harmonization. In this repository there are code examples for TransPlatformer implementation
