GFINNs: GENERIC formalism informed neural networks for deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems

Here we propose the GENERIC formalism informed neural networks (GFINNs) that obey the symmetric degeneracy conditions of the GENERIC formalism. GFINNs comprise two modules, each of which contains two components. We model each component using a neural network whose architecture is designed to satisfy the required conditions. The component-wise architecture design provides flexible ways of leveraging available physics information into neural networks. We prove theoretically that GFINNs are sufficiently expressive to learn the underlying equations, hence establishing the universal approximation theorem. We demonstrate the performance of GFINNs in three simulation problems: gas containers exchanging heat and volume, thermoelastic double pendulum and the Langevin dynamics. In all the examples, GFINNs outperform existing methods, hence demonstrating good accuracy in predictions for both deterministic and stochastic systems.

IRIS: A Portable Runtime System Exploiting Multiple Heterogeneous Programming Systems

Across embedded, mobile, enterprise, and HPC systems, computer architectures are becoming more heterogeneous and complex. This complexity is causing a crisis in programming systems and performance portability. Several programming systems are working to address these challenges, but the increasing architectural diversity is forcing software stacks and applications to specialize for each architecture. As we show, all of these approaches critically depend on their runtime system for discovery, execution, scheduling, and data orchestration. To address this challenge, we believe that a more agile and proactive runtime system is essential to increase performance portability and improve user productivity. In this regard, we have designed and implemented IRIS: a portable runtime system exploiting multiple heterogeneous programming systems. IRIS can discover available resources, manage multiple diverse programming systems (e.g., CUDA, Hexagon, HIP, Level Zero, OpenCL, OpenMP) simultaneously in the same execution, respect data dependencies, orchestrate data movement proactively, and provide for user-configurable scheduling. Our evaluation on three architectures, ranging from Qualcomm Snapdragon to a Summit supercomputer node, shows that IRIS improves portability across a wide range of diverse heterogeneous architectures with negligible overhead.

Managing Software Provenance to Enhance Reproducibility in Computational Research

Scientific processes rely on software as an important tool for data acquisition, analysis, and discovery. Over the years, sustainable software development practices have made progress in being considered as an integral component of research. However, management of computation-based scientific studies is often left to individual researchers who design their computational experiments based on personal preferences and the nature of the study. Here, we believe that the quality, efficiency, and reproducibility of computation-based scientific research can be improved by explicitly creating an execution environment that allows researchers to provide a clear record of traceability. This is particularly relevant to complex computational studies in high-performance computing (HPC) environments. In this article, we review the documentation required to maintain a comprehensive record of HPC computational experiments for reproducibility. We also provide an overview of tools and practices that we have developed to perform such studies around Flash-X, a multiphysics scientific software.

IRIS: A Performance-Portable Framework for Cross-Platform Heterogeneous Computing

From edge to exascale, computer architectures are becoming more heterogeneous and complex. The systems typically have fat nodes, with multicore CPUs and multiple hardware accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, and DSPs. This complexity is causing a crisis in programming systems and performance portability. Several programming systems are working to address these challenges, but the increasing architectural diversity is forcing software stacks and applications to be specialized for each architecture. As we show, all of these approaches critically depend on their software framework for discovery, execution, scheduling, and data orchestration. To address this challenge, we believe that a more agile and proactive software framework is essential to increase performance portability and improve user productivity. To this end, we have designed and implemented IRIS: a performance-portable framework for cross-platform heterogeneous computing. IRIS can discover available resources, manage multiple diverse programming platforms (e.g., CUDA, Hexagon, HIP, Level Zero, OpenCL, OpenMP) simultaneously in the same execution, respect data dependencies, orchestrate data movement proactively, and provide for user-configurable scheduling. To simplify data movement, IRIS introduces a shared virtual device memory with relaxed consistency among different heterogeneous devices. IRIS also adds an automatic kernel workload partitioning technique using the polyhedral model so that it can resize kernels for a wide range of devices. Our evaluation on three architectures, ranging from Qualcomm Snapdragon to a Summit supercomputer node, shows that IRIS improves portability across a wide range of diverse heterogeneous architectures with negligible overhead.

Carbon Storage Open Database

The Carbon Storage Open Database is a collection of spatial data obtained from publicly available sources published by several NATCARB Partnerships and other organizations. The carbon storage open database was collected from open-source data on ArcREST servers and websites in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. The original database was published on the former GeoCube, which is now EDX Spatial, in July 2020, and has since been updated with additional data resources from the Energy Data eXchange (EDX) and external public data resources. The shapefile geodatabase is available in total, and has also been split up into multiple databases based on the maps produced for EDX spatial. These are topical map categories that describe the type of data, and sometimes the region for which the data relates. The data is separated in case there is only a specific area or data type that is of interest for download. In addition to the geodatabases, this submission contains: 1. A ReadMe file describing the processing steps completed to collect and curate the data. 2. A data catalog of all feature layers within the database. Additional published resources are available that describe the work done to produce the geodatabase: Morkner, P., Bauer, J., Creason, C., Sabbatino, M., Wingo, P., Greenburg, R., Walker, S., Yeates, D., Rose, K. 2022.

Calibration of the ProtoDUNE Horizontal-Drift position reconstruction using a laser system

Forthcoming in the next decade of neutrino physics advancements is the construction of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment which has the potential to answer fundamental questions such as why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe, and ultimately why we exist at all. A prototype of this experiment, ProtoDUNE, sits in a charged particle test beam at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and uses Liquid Argon time projection chambers to image interactions of these particles. ProtoDUNE Single-Phase (ProtoDUNESP) had positively charged hadrons as well as positrons in its initial 2018 beam data run. Because ProtoDUNE is a surface-based time projection chamber, it experiences a constant influx of cosmic rays. These cosmic rays ionize the liquid argon within the detector, resulting in an accumulation of slow moving positive ions towards the cathode. This local charge distribution results in electric field non uniformities, which can have a significant effect on the accuracy of the event reconstruction. This paper outlines a monte carlo simulation study which adapts methodology from the MicroBooNE experiment, another neutrino oscillation experiment, to derive electric field correction maps which can correct for distortions of the electric field within the detector. These correction maps accurately estimate the electric field throughout the detector volume and correct for uncertainties in reconstructed event data enabling for physics discoveries.

Radiation-Hard Smart-Pixel Detector ASIC ReadOut with Digital AI in 28nm

Detectors at future high energy colliders will face enormous technical challenges. Disentangling the unprecedented numbers of particles expected in each event will require highly granular silicon pixel detectors with billions of readout channels. With event rates as high as 40 MHz, these detectors will generate petabytes of data per second. To enable discovery within strict bandwidth and latency constraints, future trackers must be capable of fast, power efficient, and radiation hard data-reduction at the source. This effort is pursuing the co-design development of high-performance readout smart pixel ASICs for a future Phase III High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. A 1.6mm2 ASIC prototype was designed by Fermilab in CMOS 28 nm bulk process and submitted for manufacturing in February 2024. It leverages the analog front-end pixel design of a previous prototype fabricated and tested in 2023, which achieved a simulated detection level of ~400e- with 30fF input capacitance. The ROIC consists of two matrices of 16×16 smart pixels, each 25×25 μm2 in size. Each smart pixel contains a charge-sensitive preamplifier with leakage current compensation and three auto-zero comparators for a 2-bit flash-type ADC. There is digital space for the integration of our fully combinatorial AI that performs momentum classification at the bunch crossing rate. The total power consumption is ∼6μW per pixel, which corresponds to ~1mW/cm2. The ASIC incorporates programmable front-end charge injection circuitry to generate pixel cluster charges during characterization. The cluster profile will be generated to duplicate hit characteristics of various momentum (pT). We will present early results from chip testing.

Fostering Remote Visualization: Experiences in Two Different HPC Sites

Visualization of scientific data is crucial for scientific discovery to gain insight into the results of simulations and experiments. Remote visualization is of crucial importance to access infrastructure, data and computational resources and, to avoid data movement from where data is produced and to where data will be analyzed. Remote visualization enables geographically diverse collaboration and enhances user experience through graphical user interfaces. This paper presents two approaches deployed by two different HPC centers: The SC3 - Supercomputación y Cálculo Científico Center in Colombia and the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility in USA. We overview our remote visualization experiences, adopted technologies, use cases, and challenges encountered. Our contribution is to signal the commonality between approaches in terms of the end goal, showing their fitness for their contexts, while not focusing only on attempting to provide a general picture of remote visualization, given the differences between centers in terms of purposes, needs, resources, and national impact.

GeoThermalCloud: Machine Learning for Geothermal Resource Exploration

Geothermal is a renewable energy source that can provide reliable and flexible electricity generation for the world. In the past decade, the U.S. Geological Survey's resource assessments, Play Fairway Analyses (PFA), and GeoVision report by the U.S. Department of Energy's Geothermal Technologies Office provided insights on enormous untapped potential for geothermal energy to contribute to the U.S. domestic energy needs. The past studies identified that geothermal resources without surface expression (e.g., blind/hidden hydrothermal systems) comprise a huge potential. These blind systems can significantly increase power generation. But a primary challenge is locating and quantifying these hidden resources, which do not have any thermal manifestations on the surface. PFA has successfully identified some blind systems in the western USA (e.g., specific locations in the Great Basin region within Nevada). However, a comprehensive search for these blind systems can be time-consuming, expensive, and resource-intensive with a low probability of success. Accelerated discovery of these blind resources is needed with growing energy needs and higher chances of exploration success. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have shown promise in shortening the timeline for this discovery. This paper presents a novel ML-based methodology for geothermal exploration towards PFA applications. Our methodology is provided through our open-source ML framework called GeoThermalCloud \url{https://github.com/SmartTensors/GeoThermalCloud.jl}. GeoThermalCloud uses a series of unsupervised, supervised, and physics-informed ML methods available in SmartTensors AI platform \url{https://github.com/SmartTensors}. Here, the presented analyses are performed using our unsupervised ML algorithm called NMF$k$, which is available in the SmartTensors AI platform. Our ML algorithm facilitates the discovery of new phenomena, hidden patterns, and mechanisms that helps us to make informed decisions. Moreover, the GeoThermalCloud enhances the collected PFA data and discovers signatures representative of geothermal resources. Through GeoThermalCloud, we were able to identify hidden patterns in the geothermal field data needed for the efficient discovery of blind systems. Crucial geothermal signatures often overlooked in traditional PFA are extracted using GeoThermalCloud and analyzed by the subject matter experts to provide ML-enhanced PFA, which is informative for efficient exploration. We applied our ML methodology on various open-source geothermal datasets within the U.S. (some of these are collected by past PFA work), and the results provide valuable insights on resource types within those explored regions. This ML-enhanced workflow makes GeoThermalCloud attractive for the geothermal community to improve existing datasets and extract valuable information often unnoticed during geothermal exploration.

Exploring two-dimensional van der Waals heavy-fermion material: Data mining theoretical approach

Abstract The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials often provides interesting playgrounds to explore novel phenomena. One of the missing components in 2D vdW materials is the intrinsic heavy-fermion systems, which can provide an additional degree of freedom to study quantum critical point (QCP), unconventional superconductivity, and emergent phenomena in vdW heterostructures. Here, we investigate 2D vdW heavy-fermion candidates through the database of experimentally known compounds based on dynamical mean-field theory calculation combined with density functional theory (DFT+DMFT). We have found that the Kondo resonance state of CeSiI does not change upon exfoliation and can be easily controlled by strain and surface doping. Our result indicates that CeSiI is an ideal 2D vdW heavy-fermion material and the quantum critical point can be identified by external perturbations.

A Community Energy Operations and Planning System: Concept, Use cases, Metrics, and Benefits

Community and city leaders are interested in achieving sustainability goals, providing resilient energy infrastructure, and improving economic competitiveness. Community-level data acquisition and analysis can provide energy and associated benefits that are not possible at the single building level. However, there is a lack of organizational structure, common semantic data models, interoperable systems, and methods to support data-driven decision-making for community-scale energy supply and demand systems. We explored the need and opportunity for a Community Energy Operations and Planning System (Community EOPS), a potential data exchange platform. We conducted “customer discovery” interviews, and reviewed literature, public tools, and technology platforms to identify key energy data “users” and use cases in communities. The key users of the Community EOPS could be developers of mixed-use districts, corporate, defense and university campus energy managers, and city managers of cities that own their energy utility. The value could be for community planning and reporting (for energy data-integrated land use planning and community infrastructure investments in microgrids, storage, district heating and cooling), energy efficiency (leveraging optimizations for community scale energy supply and demand), flexible load management (grid-edge load management to offset, shift, and flatten loads for multiple buildings and EV fleets), cost savings and revenue generation (participating in grid services), and social benefits such as energy resilience, equity, and awareness. We developed a conceptual Community EOPS architecture with recommendations for streamlined and prioritized data acquisition, sharing, and integration driven by prioritized use cases, common metrics, and actionable visualizations that can provide value to a community’s users.
