optimas v0.1

optimas is a Python library that can coordinate a large number of numerical simulations on high-performance computing resources, with the aim of optimizing a given simulation result. More specifically, this library is currently used for design optimization of laser-plasma particle accelerators. In this context, the performance of particle accelerator designs are often evaluated with large-scale simulation codes, and many separate simulations need to be run - with different design parameters - in order to find the most performant design. optimas facilitates this process by providing a convenient interface to advanced optimizers (e.g. Bayesian optimization), and by coordinating the execution of the different simulations on HPC resources. (This is done by leveraging the library libensemble.) Compared to other open-source optimization libraries (e.g. Ax), optimas is more tailored towards execution on DOE HPC resources (e.g. Perlmutter, Summit, etc.) and is specialized for the type of simulation codes and workflows that are used in the community of laser-plasma acceleration.

Data Science Infrastructure SOFTWARE

LANL science workflows generate complex data sets and ensembles of data requiring significant compute and storage resources. The Data Science Infrastructure (DSI) project focuses on data-driven approaches to make data more readily available to LANL projects. DSI workflows leverage metadata stored in data-agnostic databases, supported by an abstraction layer API to simplify searching and accessing data across simulation runs, experimental runs, filesystems and environments. The abstraction layer API allows the user to query a range of data types: raw output, processed data, configuration data, machine learning models, performance data, etc. In addition to the abstraction backend API, the DSI project is developing client-driven query APIs and UIs to support specific user workflows.

Command examples include a change to the temperature profile, power profiles, heat fluxes, etc. The control command recommended by the code is derived based on future predicted states of a microreactor, allowing proactive optimal and autonomous microreactor operation. The software is written in Python languages. The current software supports autonomous temperature controls of heat pipe simulator and autonomous heat flux controls of a 37 heat pipe non-nuclear testbed simulator (or its surrogate models).

Haxall-based (Axon) fault auto-correction package for building HVAC system (Haxall-based Fault Correction) v1.0

Haxall-based Fault Correction is a set of fault auto-correction algorithms implemented using the Axon language. These algorithms can automatically fix equipment and control problems as they arise and improve the operation of building Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. The coded auto-correction algorithms include mitigation of rogue zones, ASHRAE Guideline 36 static pressure and supply air reset, resolution of control hunting due to improper settings in a proportional-integral-derivative controller, correction of biased temperature sensors, etc. FDD tools with enhanced auto-correction capability can resolve control problems as they are detected, increasing energy savings and emissions reductions while freeing up operational staff expertise for the hardest facility problems.

Quantitative Universal Option Prioritizer (QUOP) v1.0.0

Quantitative Universal Option Prioritizer (QUOP) is a three-layer analytical hierarchy process (AHP) based multi-criteria decision-making option evaluation and prioritization tool. Decision-making often entails evaluation of options. Such competing options can either be mutual substitutes or cumulative means to achieve an objective. The options themselves can be methods, tools, technologies, processes, etc. Stakeholders involved in achieving the objective may view each option characteristic differently, depending on their needs and preferences. The QUOP tool enables a streamlined quantitative collaborative process of weighing the opinion of each stakeholder in evaluating the options. The evaluation may also be performed under different scenarios, for instance, various option potential estimates, prices, or end-user demand projections. The QUOP tool can find application in both public and private sectors, as well as on an individual level. The major advantage of using the QUOP decision-making tool is in documenting the quantified stakeholder opinion, therefore the background to each decision made, while simultaneously maintaining high transparency and stakeholder involvement. The tool is particularly suitable for decisions involving a high number of options and option characteristics, that is, aspects of each option that matter to the stakeholders

Operational Forecasting of Induced Seismicity

Operational Forecasting of Induced Seismicity (ORION) is an open-source toolkit developed as part of the US Department of Energy SMART and NRAP programs. ORION is designed to help both expert and non-expert users understand the seismic hazard at a site. This tool analyzes how the seismic hazard evolves during injection of fluid, and can be used to identify potential mitigation strategies for observed or forecasted seismic activity. ORION is built using Python, and has an optional GUI where users can easily configure model parameters, evaluate temporal and spatial forecasts, and inspect key data (seismicity, fluid injection, pressure models, etc.).

PFLOTRAN 5

PFLOTRAN leverages massively parallel, high performance computing to simulate large-scale non-isothermal multiphase flow, multicomponent reactive transport and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) problems in the subsurface environment. Researchers have employed PFLOTRAN to simulate these Earth system processes on leadership class supercomputers for over two decades. The code is designed to predict the future estate of environmental systems and better inform stakeholders in the regulatory decision making process (e.g., fate of contaminants, long-term stewardship for nuclear waste, impact of climate change, etc.). A diverse team of scientists oversees PFLOTRAN development and maintenance under an open-source licensing agreement and manages contributions from an international community of researchers.

RouteE-Powertrain [SWR-19-19]

RouteE-Powertrain is a tool for predicting energy usage over a set of road links. RouteE-Powertrain is a Python package that allows users to work with a set of pre-trained mesoscopic vehicle energy prediction models for a varity of vehicle types. Additionally, users can train their own models if "ground truth" energy consumption and driving data are available. RouteE-Powertrain models predict vehicle energy consumption over links in a road network, so the features considered for prediction often include traffic speeds, road grade, turns, etc. The typical user will utilize RouteE's catalog of pre-trained models. Currently, the catalog consists of light-duty vehicle models, including conventional gasoline, diesel, hybrid electric (HEV), and battery electric (BEV). These models can be applied to link-level driving data (in the form of pandas dataframes) to output energy consumption predictions. Users that wish to train new RouteE models can do so. The model training function of RouteE enables users to use their own drive-cycle data, powertrain modeling system, and road network data to train custom models. https://pypi.org/project/nrel.routee.powertrain/ pip install nrel.routee.powertrain

Polyglot Framework

Polyglot utilizes a combination of custom and open source tools and libraries to provide developers with a consistent environment for building tools, etc. for a wide variety of targets with minimal changes to the code being built. It supports a variety of architectures and operating systems/firmware in as target-agnostic way as possible. This allows for developers to minimize the amount of time/effort required to port tools—in particular, forensic tools—to a wide variety of targets. The project is comprised of two main components: a frontend toolchain that understands how to utilize other tools in order to build code for a specific target, and a minimalistic C library specific to Polyglot. These collectively provide the method to build code for a specific target, and the capability for code to interact with the underlying operating system when run on the target. Both components are written in a way to minimize the amount of target-specific knowledge required to both develop and utilize the project.
