Acoustic Steady-State Excitation Spatial Spectroscopy (ASSESS)

Safely launching and landing spacecraft, especially reusable spacecraft, requires detailed inspections of the launch vehicle to identify potential manufacturing and service-induced flaws. As an automated full-structure ultrasonic scanning technology, Acoustic Steady-State Excitation Spatial Spectroscopy (ASSESS) can rapidly and non-intrusively detect a wide variety of defects in applications where identifying subtle flaws is paramount. ASSESS is a non-destructive evaluation technology that leverages continuous excitation and laser Doppler vibrometry to make fast, high-quality inspections at stand-off distances. The ASSESS technology has undergone extensive laboratory testing and several field tests specific to oil and gas and additive manufacturing applications. We seek a commercialization partner to fund aerospace application-specific R&D and product development through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).

Fast Emulation of Expensive Simulations using Approximate Gaussian Processes [Slides]

Nuclear Computational Low-Energy Initiative (NUCLEI) collaboration uses Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations to predict the structure and binding energies of nuclei over a wide range of proton (Z) and neutron (N) numbers. The DFT simulations utilize a particular parameterization of a Skyrme energy density functional called UNEDF1 which depends on 12 free parameters that must be fit to data (M Kortelainen et al 2014). Fitting involves comparing (e.g.) predicted binding energies of nuclei to experimentally measured values. We use only binding energies as observables, but DFT with UNEDF1 will predict structure (shape) observables as well. In this work, assessing the capability of approximate GP emulators to balance emulator accuracy with computational speed to facilitate improved UNEDF1 calibration. Sparse GPs are straightforward to train and accurate. Calibration is not straightforward with MCMC (using MH or HMC/NUTS). We produced reusable software for continuing and building on this work as well as accessing and using Darwin cluster compute resources

2019 Computing Sciences Strategic Plan

Computing has transformed nearly every aspect of scientific inquiry — across disciplines and across scales — from the behavior of subatomic particles to the formation of structures in the early universe, from the assembly of the human genome to the evolution of earth systems. Over the past two decades, computing has become an integral part of how Berkeley Lab is “Bringing Science Solutions to the World.” Advances in computing and mathematics have been key, with new mathematical models of complex physical phenomena, new methods for analyzing complex data, new algorithms for accuracy and scaling and sophisticated software systems that encapsulate these techniques into open, reusable tools. The performance of NERSC computers and the ESnet network have grown by several orders of magnitude, along with our understanding of how to map scientific computations and workflows onto these systems. From research to facility operations, the passion, talent and dedication of the Computing Sciences Area staff has been the cornerstone of our success. The plan outlined in this document describes the next step in a journey to expand the influence and impact of our efforts, building an increasingly connected global enterprise for science that places more powerful instruments in the hands of scientists, along with more powerful methods and tools for modeling, analysis and prediction.

LightMAT - Continuous fiber malleable thermoset composites with sub-1-minute dwell times; validation of impact performance and evaluation of the efficacy of the compression forming process (CRADA 409 Final Report)

In spite of carbon fiber composite materials’ significant impact on light-weighting, performance, and efficiency in the aerospace industry, adoption of these materials has been slow in high-volume industries such as automotive. Two major barriers to adoption are cost and cycle-time. Current approaches to thermoset composite part production are dependent on in-mold curing of thermosets which are not optimal for high volume, high throughput production due to limitations and inefficiencies associated with the in-mold cure itself. In addition, ancillary activities, such as transport and storage of shelf-life-limited uncured, or B-staged prepreg materials typically necessitate refrigerated transport and storage which significantly impacts the economic and energy costs associated with manufacturing. Furthermore, limited out-life means that trimmings cannot typically be used as they partially cure during initial production leading to high scrap rates (+20% is common). Finally, the need to cure in-mold drives cycle times to multiple minutes in the best cases, and 10’s of minutes to hours in most cases. Mallinda is developing polyimine malleable thermoset prepreg composite materials which have excellent mechanical properties (100 GPa tensile modulus, 2 GPA tensile strength, 2.4% elongation at break) and high operating temperatures (Tg>200°C). At scale, polyimine resins are commensurate in price with commodity epoxy resins. What distinguishes malleable thermoset prepreg from traditional thermoset prepreg materials, is that they are fully cured during Mallinda’s roll-to-roll production of prepreg laminate. This results in 5 key value-differentiating benefits. First, it simplifies manufacturing logistics by enabling ambient transportation and storage, and by significantly extending out-life and shelf-life almost indefinitely. Second, elimination of autoclave curing reduces the economic and energy costs to the customer. Third, scrap rates can be reduced as malleable thermoset prepreg materials are directly reusable. Fourth, the manufacturing consolidation step can be roughly 10x faster than traditional thermosets, because the resin is already cured. Parts can be made via compression forming by the application of heat and pressure to quickly vitrify and consolidate a multilayer part – easily leading to sub 3-minute cycle times (at lab scale we have demonstrated a 20 second dwell time, with room for further optimization). Finally, the closed-loop cradle-to-cradle solution-based recyclability of malleable thermoset composites can also contribute significantly to the future of sustainable lightweight materials. The focus of this project was the development, optimization and validation of malleable thermoset composite materials which exhibit manufacturing cycle times of 3-minute or less, high speed impact performance on par with incumbent technologies, and defect-free consolidation of 3 dimensional parts. Government funding is required on this project because Mallinda is a start-up company whose focus is the development and scale-up of the described technology for introduction to the transportation segment. Unlike incumbent industry players, Mallinda is bringing a completely new and highly relevant malleable thermoset technology to bear on the problem of high throughput composites. As a small business, Mallinda relies on a combination of government R&D funding and private capital to perform development work.

Position Papers for the ASCR Workshop on the Management and Storage of Scientific Data

The purpose of this workshop is to identify priority research directions in the area of data management for high-performance and scientific computing above and beyond HPC’s traditional "the parallel file system is the data-management system" model. Supporting the breadth of the DOE mission, including the explosion of AI uses and the growing needs of experimental and observational science, motivates revisiting our assumptions about data management. There are many facets of this topic to explore including: (1) Interfaces for accessing data that resides on traditional persistent storage as well as memory devices; (2) Storage-system architecture design that supports scientific workflows on varied hierarchical storage and networking devices; (3) Devising metadata management infrastructure to support FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability); (4) Capturing provenance information about scientific data; (5) Utilizing AI to learn I/O patterns of emerging workloads for efficient data management; (6) Providing data management support for AI and complex workflows; and (7) Understanding the overlap between traditional storage systems and I/O (SSIO) efforts and data management. While the program committee has identified these topics as important areas for discussion, we welcome position papers from the community that propose additional topics of interest for discussion at the workshop. The workshop agenda will include breakout sessions for discussing these and selected topic areas to inform priority research directions for data management for high-performance and scientific computing.

Management and Storage of Scientific Data

Scientific discoveries rely heavily on efficient access, search, and management of massive data sets. Data management technologies have, for decades, provided foundational capabilities for scientific computing. Just as storage, input/output (I/O), and data management have been fundamental to simulation-based science for many years, so too are capable data-management technologies key to the success of today’s scientific workflows utilizing data intensive and machine learning (ML) techniques. The Department of Energy, Office of Science, Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program has invested broadly in data-management research focused on high-performance computing (HPC) systems, from parallel file systems that store data to application software that makes these systems more productive. Still, advances in technology combined with growing diversity of supported science strongly motivate continued investment in this area. In January 2022, ASCR convened a workshop to identify priority research directions in the area of data management for high-performance and scientific computing. Attendees were challenged to identify promising approaches that would support the breadth of the DOE mission, including the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) uses and the growing needs of experimental and observational science. Technological and science drivers were identified and considered as they relate to key aspects of data management such as interfaces, architectural design, and FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). The thoughts of the workshop participants were distilled into a set of four priority research directions with the potential for high impact on DOE science. These research directions are summarized in the following pages.

Elucidating Arsenic and Selenium Speciation in Coal Fly Ashes

Coal fly ash (CFA) is produced during the coal combustion process and contains trace elements (<100 ppm) including selenium (Se) and arsenic (As), both detrimental for environmental and human health. Existing management strategies for CFAs involve disposal in landfills and ash ponds, as well as beneficial usage in other applications such as in concrete. Both the direct disposal and beneficial usage of CFA raise concerns for environmental hazards due to the potential leaching of Se and As. CFAs were classified as reusable material by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the first federal regulation (Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities, CCR) for its disposal established six years ago. During coal combustion process, parameters such as furnace firing type, emissions controls, coal rank, use of additives, and particulate matter controls, could contribute to significant variability in As/Se concentrations and their speciation. Although there have been a handful of studies on As/Se speciation on small sets of samples, they do not fully represent the current state of coal-fired electrical generating units. Little information exists on the detailed speciation (e.g. oxidation state, complexation state) of As/Se in large set of fly ash samples. To better investigate the role of the potential contributing parameters, a large-scale survey study with representative samples of typical coal source and combustion conditions is highly desired. The overall goal of this research is to systematically characterize As and Se speciation of representative coal fly ash samples using state-of-the-art synchrotron based spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, in order to develop a correlation between coal source/type, operation condition, As/Se speciation, and As/Se mobility. A detailed survey study was conducted documenting the current state-of-knowledge on fossil power generating units as a function of coal type/source, operating conditions, environmental control systems, additive use, and fly ash handling methods. Based on this survey, a matrix of fly ash samples representing a range of conditions were chosen and collected. The collected ash samples were analyzed for bulk characteristics such as elemental composition, microstructure, chemical and mineralogical composition, surface area, and particle size distribution. State-of-the-art synchrotron X-ray microscopy and spectroscopy techniques were applied to reveal the molecular scale speciation information of As and Se, such as oxidation state, association with other elements/minerals, and complexation states.

Scalable, In-situ Data Clustering Data Analysis for Extreme Scale Scientific Computing (Final Report)

The objective of this project is to address challenges in the design and development of scalable in-situ data clustering and analytics algorithms and software. Our goal is to develop parallel software consisting of a set of spatio-temporal data clustering and anomaly detection functions, both of which are very important for large-scale analysis and have wide applicability for in-situ runs as well as post-processing analysis. Our design principles for in-situ analysis consider the following: (1) identify parts of the computation can be done close to the data within the nodes, while it is still in memory; (2) extract analysis components can (and should) be performed in remote staging and analysis nodes; (3) develop error-bound approximation methods for applications tolerable for small errors; (4) identify the type of derived distributions and statistics, for spatio-temporal data, that can be kept locally in order to both accelerate computations and meet energy constraints in subsequent iterations and phases; (5) use a self-describing data format so that data can be consistent and understood among local storage (memory and SSDs) and at staging and analysis nodes, thereby providing portability and flexibility; (6) develop service-oriented functions that can schedule in-situ and post-hoc analysis tasks based on the dynamic requirements of applications. Our development focus is to produce the parallel data analysis software/library that will be scalable, reusable, extensible, and generic for applications in different disciplines. The software will be able to run in-situ with the simulations as well as post-hoc analysis. This approach will satisfy many synergistic requirements for data intensive applications executed on data coming from instruments and experiments. In particular, the proposed multilevel approach is directly applicable to perform design tradeoffs for running part of the algorithms near the instruments and the rest on remote (analysis) systems.

Artificial Intelligence for Accelerating Nuclear Applications, Science, and Technology

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods have had significant impacts in science and technology in recent years. These methods for generating models from datasets or logic-based algorithms that emulate aspects of human performance can similarly accelerate the fields of nuclear applications, science, and technology toward the IAEA goals of contributing to peace, health, and prosperity. In order to accomplish advances with AI in general and ML in particular across these fields, IAEA can play a significant role by establishing, hosting and curating centralised resources, including databases, adhering to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) principles and Open Science best practices, providing stewardship of data sharing, supporting training efforts and development of relevant workforces, as well as enabling connections among the scientific, technology, mathematics, AI and ethics communities. Many areas can benefit from the use of AI in the realm of nuclear applications. In human health, these areas include clinical research, epidemiology, nutrition, medical imaging, radiotherapy and education of health professionals. AI-based tools are also being used to facilitate different clinical tasks in imaging, computer-assisted diagnosis in mammography and lung cancer screening programmes, and dose prediction in nuclear medicine procedures. ML methods in particular may also increase the efficiency and accuracy of the analysis of computerised tomography and dual-energy absorptiometry scans for body composition and bone analysis. The application of AI methods to nuclear and related technologies in food and agriculture can lead to significant advances and improved efficiency in the optimisation of agricultural production, food product development, management of supply chains, food safety and food authenticity control. In the water and environmental sector, AI can help inform policies to mitigate the world’s water problems. The application of AI techniques to hydrology and environmental sciences is expected to improve patterns identification and enable model predictions under a changing climate.

Amorphous 2D Materials – A Novel Platform for Remote Epitaxy and Nanopatterned Epitaxy of III-V Semiconductors with Low Decomposition Temperatures

III-V semiconductor materials such as indium phosphide (InP) offer outstanding photonic properties that outperforms silicon, but the cost of these wafers is extremely expensive. Although reusing original wafers can effectively minimize the cost, current techniques for wafer recycling of these substrates add significant costs in fabrication, nullifying the cost savings by reusing the wafers. Besides, unlike other III-V materials such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), commonly used epitaxial lift-off method for wafer recycling is not well studied for materials like InP due to lack of lattice-matched sacrificial layers, which makes reusing these wafers more difficult. Remote epitaxy and nanopatterned epitaxy are newly discovered methods that enable single-crystal growth of III-V semiconductor thin films and easy exfoliation of these grown films, thus promising for a new cost-effective pathway of reusing wafers. However, previous methods of transferring two-dimensional (2D) materials, which use polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or metal stressor layers to transfer 2D materials grown on foreign substrates like copper (Cu) or silicon carbide (SiC), introduce defects and damages on the 2D layer and/or substrates during the transfer process. Remote epitaxial and nanopatterned epitaxial films grown on the damaged 2D layer/substrate suffer from lower crystal quality and imperfect exfoliation, which undermines wafer reusability and device performance. Here we report the MBE growth of amorphous boron nitride (a-BN) on InP wafers at low temperature that enabled improved quality of remote epitaxial and nanopatterned epitaxial films and their perfect exfoliation. We show fully covered a-BN on InP substrates despite their low decomposition temperatures. The surface of a-BN coated InP substrate remains smooth with a RMS roughness of around 3Â. We also demonstrate 100% coverage of single-crystal InP thin films grown on a-BN, with the film's quality significantly improved compared to the case of transferred 2D materials. In addition, the growth and exfoliation were successfully repeated multiple times, proving the feasibility for InP wafer recycling. Through this low temperature MBE growth approach with remote epitaxy and nanopatterned epitaxy, we successfully demonstrate large-scale flexible thin film exfoliation and recycling of InP substrates, which will lead to new opportunities in InP thin film-based photonics and novel heterostructures with significantly reduced cost.

Dissolution of a Can Carrier Pin in Concentrated Nitric Acid

H=Canyon will be dissolving Fast Critical Assembly (FCA) fuel from the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The FCA fuel will be dissolved in the electrolytic dissolver in a solution that is a 50 wt.% nitric acid (HNO 3 ), 0.5 g/l gadolinium (Gd), and 0.05 M potassium fluoride (KF). The nitric acid concentration is expected to decrease during the batch process from 10.3 to 7 M. The temperature of the nitric acid solution may be as low as 15 °C. The fuel can will be placed in the dissolver basket insert utilizing a reusable charging device. The charging device is a coated stainless-steel rod with a clevis design. The charging device employs a linchpin to secure the FCA fuel can as it is being charged into the H-canyon dissolver. Prior to beginning the electrolytic dissolution process, the pin will be dissolved, the fuel can will remain in the dissolver basket insert and the charging device will be removed. Currently the time necessary for complete dissolution of the pin is unknown and thus the timing of the removal of the charging device cannot be planned. This process is to be performed remotely and therefore complete dissolution of the pin will not be able to be visually determined. The pin will be made of a material that dissolves in the concentrated nitric acid solution in the dissolver. The facility desired to know the time that the pin would be dissolved so that the charging device for the FCA can could be removed from the dissolver. In particular, the pin dissolution time as a function of the nitric acid concentration and the temperature was desired. The facility would like to ensure that the solution environment was such that the charging device could be removed within an operational shift (8-12 hours).
