Towards memristor supremacy with novel machine learning algorithms

The von Neumann architecture for current computers is slowly showing signs of limitations, due to the finite bus rate between the RAM (memory) and the CPU (computing unit). In-Memory computing is an alternative to this architecture, which however is still in the early stages of development. Memristors are an analog and classical alternative, as these components can act both as a memory, or as a simple computing unit. When wired together, these can in fact be used for a variety of applications. During the course of our research, we have developed an in-depth experimental understanding of both the limitations and the real possibilities of these devices, and developed automated algorithms for their characterization; at the theoretical level, we have incorporated the experimental features to implement novel analog computing units for specific tasks. We have shown that memristors can tackle QUBO and cubic optimization problems, and exhibit tunneling phenomena.

Rapid CFD Using Machine Learning Algorithms (CRADA Final Report)

This is a collaborative effort between Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC as manager and operator of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (“LLNL”) and Guardian Glass, LLC ("Guardian Glass") to develop a fast-running emulator of the reactive Computational Fluid Dynamics (“CFD”) simulations needed to understand the complex reactions and flows in the glass melting, fining, and forming subprocesses. This CRADA project is sponsored under the High-Performance Computing for Manufacturing (“HPC4Mfg”) Program of the Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office (“AMO”) within the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (“EERE”) Office.

Using Machine Learning Algorithm to Detect Blowing Snow and Fog in Antarctica Based on Ceilometer and Surface Meteorology Systems

Blowing snow is a common weather phenomenon in Antarctica and plays an important role in the water vapor cycle and ice sheet mass balance. Although it has a significant impact on the climate of Antarctica, people do not know much about this process. Fog events are difficult to distinguish from blowing snow events using existing detection algorithms by a ceilometer. In this study, based on ceilometer, the meteorological parameters observed by surface meteorology systems are further combined to detect blowing snow and fog using the AdaBoost algorithm. The weather phenomena recorded by human observers are ‘true’. The dataset is collected from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 at the AWARE site. Among them, three-quarters of the data are used as the training set and the rest of the data as the testing set. The classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm for the testing set is about 94%. Compared with the Loeb method, the proposed algorithm can detect 89.12% of blowing snow events and 76.10% of fog events, while the Loeb method can only identify 64.29% of blowing snow events and 31.87% of fog events.
