Whetstone v.0.9.2

Whetstone is a deep learning software library for spiking/binary threshold neuromorphic hardware. Built to integrate with Keras models, Whetstone provides a collection of layers, callbacks, and utility functions designed to allow the training of integrate-and-fire neurons rather than traditional analog activation functions (e.g. rectified linear units). Generally, training a network for neuromorphic hardware is challenging due to the discontinuity of the activation function. Whetstone overcomes this challenge by using ever-closer continuous approximations of a threshold activation, modified during training time. This allows rapid and consistent training for ultra-low powered neuromorphic hardware.

Quandary

Quandary numerically simulates and optimizes the time-evolution of open quantum systems. The underlying dynamics are modelled by Lindblad's master equation, a linear ordinary differential equation (ODE) describing quantum systems interacting with the environment. Quandary solves this ODE numerically by applying a time-stepping integration scheme, and utilizes a gradient-based optimization approach to determine optimal control pulses that drive the quantum system to a desired target state. Two optimization objectives are considered: (a) Unitary gate optimization that finds controls to realize a unitary gate transformation, and (b) optimal reset that aims to drive the quantum system to the ground states. Gradient-based optimization schemes utilizing Petsc's Tao optimization package are applied to generate control pulses that minimize the respective measure. To evaluate the gradient of the objective function, the discrete adjoint method is used while leveraging techniques from Algorithmic Differentiation to produce exact and consistent gradients. To mitigate excessive execution run times, the software can be build together with the XBraid software library which provides a parallelization strategy to distribute the time-evolution of the underlying dynamics onto multiple processor.

ORMATEX

The Oak Ridge Matrix Exponential (ORMATEX) software library contains methods to compute the matrix exponential and the action of the matrix exponential on a vector. Additionally, this package contains the related methods for the phi-functions which commonly appear in a wide class of exponential time integration methods. Krylov methods are provided to evaluate the matrix exponential-vector and phi-vector products for cases where the matrix is large and sparse. Utilizing these methods, ORMATEX implements performant exponential integrators for large systems of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The exponential time integration routines in ORMATEX are particularly suitable to large, stiff systems of equations. These routines may be utilized as a competitive alternative to classical implicit and explicit time integration schemes for certain classes of differential equations where the problem stiffness can be predominately explained by the linear terms.
