thirteen years is a long time
by Trefonides, Adam Max 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Greetings and apologies for the broadcast and cross-post, after thirteen years one makes friends all over the place and I didn't want to miss anyone. The rumors are true: I'm off to vanquish my nemesis, Snidely Whiplash. My wife was awarded a postdoc fellowship at McGill University in Montreal and is taking our baby with her. I like them, and she said I can come too, so at the end of July I will begin a leave of absence from Argonne and head off into the Great White North. I would like very much to have an opportunity to say goodbye and let you buy me a beer, so please come to Imperial Oak Brewing (http://www.imperialoakbrewing.com/ - 501 Willow Blvd, Willow Springs, Illinois 60480) on Thursday, July 18th after ~5PM. If you were at William Scullin's sendoff it's the same place, they have food trucks, non-alcoholic refreshments etc. It really has been an privilege to work with most of you. The rest, well, you know who you are. And to the six of you who were out on That Weekend in 2008, your secrets are safe with me, the blood pact holds. Please feel free to bring family and friends, support peacocks, etc. -- Adam (Max) Trefonides -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

HI Everyone, The Lab is redoing the internal website (inside.anl.gov) and looking for input via a Division engagement session. If you have any interest in providing feedback/participating, please send an email Samantha (cc'd). Thanks! Salman -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Action Requested: IHWW Intranet Project—Division Engagement Sessions; Due 7/16/19 Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2019 13:59:35 +0000 From: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> Reply-To: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> To: habib(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4/images/0095e5b6-e15…] ACTION REQUESTED BY 7/16/19 July 9, 2019 TO: Division Directors and Department Heads FROM: Leslie Krohn, Chief Communications Officer SUBJECT: IHWW Intranet Project—Division Engagement Sessions The Improving How We Work (IHWW) Intranet Redesign Project has entered a stage when your input is essential to shaping this improved communication tool and the collaborations that will make it work. I’m asking that each division director schedule a division engagement session with the intranet team by contacting Brianna Lang at langb(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>, who will coordinate a time in July that works best for you and your team. Divisions within a directorate may wish to schedule a combined engagement session. Division engagement sessions will be most successful if you involve your team leaders (including communications leads), intranet content owners/creators, access administrators, publishers, and others who work with or rely on the intranet in direct or unique ways. We strongly suggest you identify one of the attendees as your division’s intranet redesign change ambassador. Each division engagement session will last between an hour and 90 minutes (depending on group size). By attending the session, your team will better understand the goals, timelines, and changes resulting from this initiative; be introduced to the possible impact the redesign will have on your division and individual stakeholders; and provide input that will shape Argonne’s new intranet and improve its likelihood of success. I ask that you, or your designee, contact Brianna Lang at the email address above by Tuesday, July 16, to schedule your session. Thank you in advance for your commitment to this Improving How We Work initiative.

CPS Monday meeting talk by John Tramm
by Habib, Salman 30 Jun '19

30 Jun '19

Hi Everyone, We'll start our CPS talks this all-hands Monday meeting with a presentation by John Tramm, details below. Please do send your talk title and abstracts to Samantha. We'll set up a calendar to make sure all focus areas are well-represented with appropriate talks. Best Salman ********************* Title: The Random Ray Method of Neutral Particle Transport: A New "HPC-Friendly" Method for Nuclear Reactor Simulation Abstract: A central goal in computational nuclear engineering is the high-fidelity simulation of a full nuclear reactor core by way of a general simulation method. General full core simulations can potentially reduce design and construction costs, increase reactor performance and safety, reduce the amount of nuclear waste generated, and allow for much more complex and novel designs. To date, however, the time to solution and memory requirements for a general full core high-fidelity 3D simulation have rendered such calculations impractical, even using leadership class supercomputers. Reactor designers have instead relied on calibrated methods that are accurate only within a narrow design space, greatly limiting the exploration of innovative concepts. In an effort to develop reactor simulation applications that are at once fast, accurate, and general purpose -- we have developed a fundamentally new computational algorithm. This new algorithm, known as The Random Ray Method (TRRM), can be viewed as a stochastic formulation of the traditionally deterministic Method of Characteristics (MOC) approach of numerically solving PDEs. TRRM's three largest advantages compared to traditional MOC are that it can handle arbitrary 3D geometries, it offers extreme improvements in memory efficiency, and (most importantly) it allows for significant reductions in algorithmic complexity by allowing for unbiased sparse iterations. In addition, TRRM naturally exposes a massive amount of task-based parallelism and can efficiently utilize SIMD vector units on modern HPC architectures. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the new TRRM algorithm and a massively parallel implementation of it known as the Advanced Random Ray Code (ARRC). I will then present a selection of performance results for reactor simulation benchmark problems run with ARRC on the Theta supercomputer, and will compare ARRC's performance against state-of-the-art traditional deterministic neutron transport applications.

Re: Argonne Launchpad program
by Habib, Salman 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Hi Yuri, Harvey came to me to see how the program can be used to increase engagement with the DOE offices. He was explicit that it was not just about selling our technology in the "start up" sense but more about making people better at program development. If you have any ideas, we should try to use this program to pitch them. I am happy to talk to John some more. Salman On 6/28/19 5:00 PM, Alexeev, Yuri wrote: This program looks to me all about how to commercialize ANL's technology. I am sure there is more to it, but it looks like it is the major focus. I attended a few of these talks, which were startup-like presentations. In the end, you need to prepare a business plan and try to convince investors in a "Shark tank" style session to provide funding. Is it correct?

Typically the Launchpad program lasts for a year and covers 50% of the FTE costs; aside from giving time to develop the idea, it also aims to help in honing a participant's program development skills. Program managers in DOE have seen the value of Launchpad and have paid into it. Access to the program is via open calls (May/June timeframe, if I remember correctly) or Divisional nomination. The technical idea can involve work at a basic R&D level or it can be higher up the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) stack. John was interested in seeing more applicants from the more basic science side of the Lab and we did some brainstorming. One idea is that we can use Launchpad as an internal silo-breaking strategy, for instance by bringing people in as "teams of two" (from two different parts of the Lab, e.g., CPS and HEP, CPS and MSD, etc.). Another is to promote initial work on an Early Career project; yet another is preliminary activity for an SBIR effort. If you have even a small interest in Launchpad, please swing by and talk to me. Also, do feel free to contact John Harvey (harveyj(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) if you have questions.
