Follow-On Status Report on FY2022 Model Development within the Integrated Energy Systems Hybrid Repository

This publication details newly created energy storage and reactor models developed within the HYBRID modeling repository as part of the Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Integrated Energy Systems (IES) program, led by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Model development to-date includes creation of dynamic systems-level models of a pebble bed high temperature gas reactor (HTGR), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and Modelica standard library based two-tank sensible heat storage (SHS) in the IES-based HYBRID repository. Models are developed using the latest publicly available data and incorporate the possibility of control strategy inclusion for use with the existing IES modeling, analysis, and optimization toolset. Simulations showcase the abilities of each technology to flexibly operate in ways consistent with IES operation expectations. When these models are available, they can be utilized within different integrated energy park concepts to understand optimal system operation, control, and dispatching. Moreover, given the generic nature of the models, industrial partner technologies can be quickly added to the repository using the existing models as a basis. Additional dynamic models for thermal energy storage concepts can be developed and added to the HYBRID repository as needed.

mzapy : An Open-Source Python Library Enabling Efficient Extraction and Processing of Ion Mobility Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry Data in the MZA File Format

We have recently reported MZA, a new and simple mass spectrometry data structure based on the broadly supported HDF5 format and created to facilitate software development. While this format is inherently supportive of application development, the availability of a core library with standard mass spectrometry utilities greatly facilitates fast software development. Here, we present a Python library, mzapy, for efficient extraction and processing of mass spectrometry data in the MZA format. In addition to raw data extraction, mzapy contains supporting utilities enabling tasks including calibration, signal processing, peak finding, and generating plots. Being implemented in pure Python with minimal and largely standardized dependencies makes mzapy uniquely suited to application development in the multi-omics domain. The free and open source mzapy is built with extensibility in mind, and future development will support cloud computing and artificial intelligence/machine learning applications. The software source code is freely available at https://github.com/PNNL-m-q/mzapy.

Augmentation of MS/MS Libraries with Spectral Interpolation for Improved Identification

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a primary tool for identification of small molecules and metabolites where resultant spectra are most commonly identified by matching them with spectra in MS/MS reference libraries. The high degree of variability in MS/MS spectrum acquisition techniques and parameters creates a significant challenge for building standardized reference libraries. Here we present a method to improve the usefulness of existing MS/MS libraries by augmenting available experimental spectra datasets with statistically interpolated spectra at unreported collision energies. We find that highly accurate spectral approximations can be interpolated from as few as three experimental spectra and that the interpolated spectra will be consistent with true spectra gathered from the same instrument as the experimental spectra. Supplementing existing spectral databases with interpolated spectra yields consistent improvements to identification accuracy on a range of instruments and precursor types. Applying this method yields significant improvements (~10% more spectra correctly identified) on large datasets (2,000 - 10,000 spectra), indicating this is a quick yet adept tool for improving spectral matching in situations where available reference libraries are not yet sufficient. We also find improvements of matching spectra across instrument types (between an Agilent Q-TOF and an Orbitrap Elite), at high collision energies (50 - 90 eV), and with smaller datasets available through MassBank.

Taking the MPI standard and the open MPI library to exascale

The Open MPI for Exascale (OMPI-X) project was one of two in the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) focused on advancing the MPI ecosystem. The OMPI-X team worked with other MPI Forum members to champion several important features for inclusion in the MPI 4.0, 4.1, and upcoming 5.0 MPI standard versions, in support of the needs of exascale applications and systems. The team also worked with the larger Open MPI community to bring implementations of these new features and other enhancements into Open MPI, one of the leading open-source implementations of the MPI interface. Here, this paper describes the motivation for the work of the OMPI-X project in the context of exascale computing needs, the nature of the resulting new capabilities in the MPI standard, and how they were implemented in the Open MPI library. Features include improved support for “MPI + X” programming models through partitioned communications and support for user-level threading, sessions, fault tolerance through the user-level fault mitigation (ULFM) and Reinit models, and other features. We also discuss enhancements to Open MPI providing improved performance and scalability for existing features, such as collective operations, one-sided operations, support for the Slingshot-11 interconnect of the initial exascale systems, and how the OMPI-X team worked to improve quality assurance for the Open MPI library, particularly on platforms of interest to the Department of Energy community.

Optimization Plugin Library

The Optimization Plugin library ("op") is a lightweight general optimization solver interface. The primary purpose of op is to simplify the process of integrating different optimization solvers (serial or parallel) with scalable parallel physics engines. By design it has several features that help make this a reality. The core abstraction interface was developed to encompass a large class of optimization problems in an optimizer-agnostic way. This enables us to describe the optimization problem once and then use a variety of supported "op" optimizers with ideally no code-changes. The abstraction interface is made up of lightweight wrappers that make it easy to integrate with existing simulation codes. This makes integration less intrusive and should minimize changes to existing physics codes. The "op" interface includes an assortment of utility methods that help specify parallel communication patterns as well as methods to convert from optimization-specific interfaces to the more general "op" interface. Lastly a dynamic library linking interface is provided to allow for use of proprietary optimization engines without explicit reference in the source code, along with standard shared library interfaces for opensource engines.

Development of a Unified Taxonomy for HVAC System Faults

Detecting and diagnosing HVAC faults is critical for maintaining building operation performance, reducing energy waste, and ensuring indoor comfort. An increasing deployment of commercial fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) software tools in commercial buildings in the past decade has significantly increased buildings’ operational reliability and reduced energy consumption. A massive amount of data has been generated by the FDD software tools. However, efficiently utilizing FDD data for ‘big data’ analytics, algorithm improvement, and other data-driven applications is challenging because the format and naming conventions of those data are very customized, unstructured, and hard to interpret. This paper presents the development of a unified taxonomy for HVAC faults. A taxonomy is an orderly classification of HVAC faults according to their characteristics and causal relations. The taxonomy includes fault categorization, physical hierarchy, fault library, relation model, and naming/tagging scheme. The taxonomy employs both a physical hierarchy of HVAC equipment and a cause-effect relationship model to reveal the root causes of faults in HVAC systems. A structured and standardized vocabulary library is developed to increase data representability and interpretability. The developed fault taxonomy can be used for HVAC system ‘big data’ analytics such as HVAC system fault prevalence analysis or the development of an HVAC FDD software standard. A common type of HVAC equipment-packaged rooftop unit (RTU) is used as an example to demonstrate the application of the developed fault taxonomy. Two RTU FDD software tools are used to show that after mapping FDD data according to the taxonomy, the meta-analysis of the multiple FDD reports is possible and efficient.

Statistically-driven Experimental Design to Improve Reference-free Quantification of Small Molecules by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Non-targeted analysis of small molecules and metabolites in unknown, complex samples using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry remains challenging. One of the main bottlenecks is the extensive unannotated regions of metabolomics mass spectrometry data, resulting in knowledge gaps. Small molecule annotation in mass spectrometry data has conventionally relied on reference standards and libraries for compound identification and confirmation, which can constrain compound identification to those molecules already known, thus limiting the ability to discover new knowledge and new markers. Retention time prediction can facilitate and expedite unknown compound identification in non-targeted analysis of complex metabolomics samples. Additionally, accurate retention time predictions can also inform sample mixture design for LC-MS/MS analyses. However, current machine learning-based methods for retention time prediction are typically developed for specific chromatographic platforms and are not generalizable across scales. And while technologies and methods to improve reference-free metabolite identification for more comprehensive annotation of unknowns has received much attention, development of the same for quantitation without reference standards has been much more limited, despite its importance in toxicological, environmental, food safety, forensics, and clinical applications. We believe that a reference-free quantitation strategy that exploits mass spectrometry data already collected for reference-free identification can provide much more insight on unknowns, and move the metabolomics field for more complete unknowns characterization. As such, we pursue two efforts to improve upon current state-of-the-art methods in non-targeted analysis: (1) machine learning-based retention time prediction and (2) statistical design of experiments framework for reference-free quantitation. In this work, we develop and demonstrate (1) a generalizable retention time prediction capability across chromatographic conditions and scales, and (2) a statistical design-based framework for response factor contribution elucidation and reference-free quantitation. Evaluation of our retention time prediction model, PrediToR, showed approximately 24% improvement over current models, and we observed approximately 10X improvement in concentration estimation accuracy from our statistical design-based response factor model over a primarily ionization efficiency-based model. We expect that future efforts to improve upon these new capabilities will further advance non-targeted analysis of small molecules towards truly reference-free metabolomics.

WORM (Write One, Read Many)

WORM (Write One, Run Many) is an easy to use, cross platform, embedded and extensible, functional programming language designed to facilitate the creation of input-decks for computer codes that use standard ASCII text files for input. WORM makes it easy to create generic (yet, complex and powerful) reusable models. Additionally its nature allows for complex calculations and routines to be coded once and easily reused, further simplifying the creation of input decks. WORM (Write One, Run Many) is a powerful and versatile tool designed to improve the efficiency of today’s criticality safety analyst by allowing: + input decks for parametric studies to be created quickly and easily, + calculations and variables to be imbedded into any input deck, thus allowing for meaningful parameter specifications, + problems to be specified using any combination of units, and + complex mathematically defined models to be created. A very simple syntax is employed, and therefore the WORM is easy to learn. A WORM model is essentially a standard input deck with some of its numerical values replaced by WORM code. WORM code may include and evaluate the following mathematical operators and functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, modulus, sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, the natural logarithm, logarithm base 10, integer truncation, absolute value, and random number. Several common constants, e.g., pi, e, and Avogadros’s Number (both as 6.022e23 and 0.6022), are predefined in WORM. Additionally, many unit conversion factors are also predefined: millimeters, meters, inches, feet, yards, and mils to centimeters; kilograms, pounds, and ounces to grams; liters, milliliters, gallons, and fluid ounces to cubic centimeters; and angular degrees to radians. For parametric studies, WORM supports various shorthand list specifications: the explicit step size, linear interpolation, and logarithmic interpolation. The list notation sequentially assigns multiple values to a name. WORM creates an input deck for each value of the name. If multiple lists are used, WORM steps through each list individually, i.e., WORM creates input decks corresponding to each and every permutation of the list values. Additionally, a library of standard material definitions and Perl subroutines are included. Any one of these files can be incorporated into the subject model with a simple WORM read command. WORM is completely written in Perl, the Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. Perl is one of the most portable programming languages available today. As such, the WORM works on practically any computer platform.

Efficient Fourier transforms for transverse momentum dependent distributions

Hadron production at low transverse momenta in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering can be described by transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization. This formalism has also been widely used to study the Drell-Yan process and back-to-back hadron pair production in $e^+e^-$ collisions. These processes are the main ones for extractions of TMD parton distribution functions and TMD fragmentation functions, which encode important information about nucleon structure and hadronization. One of the most widely used TMD factorization formalism in phenomenology formulates TMD observables in coordinate $b_\perp$-space, the conjugate space of the transverse momentum. The Fourier transform from $b_\perp$-space back into transverse momentum space is sufficiently complicated due to oscillatory integrands that it requires a careful and computationally intensive numerical treatment in order to avoid potentially large numerical errors. Within the TMD formalism, the azimuthal angular dependence is analytically integrated and the two-dimensional $b_\perp$ integration reduces to a one-dimensional integration over the magnitude $b_\perp$. In this paper we develop a fast numerical Hankel transform algorithm for such a $b_\perp$-integration that improves the numerical accuracy of TMD calculations in all standard processes. Libraries for this algorithm are implemented in Python 2.7 and 3, C++, as well as FORTRAN77. All packages are made available open source.

Investigation of Timing Properties for an Event Driven with Access and Reset Decoder Readout Architecture for a Pixel Array

The large number of data generating sources (data channels) on a single chip requires appropriate techniques to manage a readout from these channels. One of the main methods is sharing a medium of transmission, which requires arbitration to avoid collisions or deadlocks. Existing solutions face several problems such as a dead time, unintended prioritization or metastability. That is why we decided to create a new readout architecture named EDWARD i.e., Event Driven with Access and Reset Decoder. The EDWARD architecture gets rid of the earlier mentioned problems and mitigates the other ones. However, due to the use of logic circuits outside a standard cell library, which are hard to characterize, we were challenged to perform an additional transient analysis to validate the architecture. Here we show a methodology and the results of the simulations. Based on the results obtained we can confirm the functional correctness of the system and plan the optimization of operating conditions in order to achieve better performance. Our goal is to use the EDWARD architecture in the future radiation detectors to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
