Predictive modeling of materials requires accurately parameterized constitutive models. Parameterizing models that describe dynamic strength and plasticity require experimentally probing in a variety strain rate regimes. Some experimental protocols (e.g., plate impact) probe the response material using indirect measures such as free surface velocimetry. Manual efforts to parameterize often lead non-unique optimizations without quantification parameter uncertainty. This study uses Bayesian...
We explore the use of asynchronous many-task (AMT) programming models for implementation in situ analysis towards goal maximizing programmer productivity and overall performance on next generation platforms. describe how a broad class statistics algorithms can be transformed from traditional single-programm multiple-data (SPMD) to an AMT implementation, demonstrating with concrete example: measurement descriptive implemented Legion. Our experiments quantify benefit possible drawbacks this...
The continuing improvement in quantum efficiency (above 90% for single visible photons), reduction noise (below 1 electron per pixel), and shrink pixel pitch (less than micron) motivate billion-pixel X-ray cameras (BiPC-X) based on commercial CMOS imaging sensors. We describe BiPC-X designs prototype construction flexible tiling of sensors with millions pixels. Device models are given direct detection low energy X-rays ($<$ 10 keV) indirect higher energies using scintillators. Modified...
In January 2019, the US Department of Energy, Office Science program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research, convened a workshop to identify priority research directions (PRDs) for situ data management (ISDM). A fundamental finding this is that methodologies used manage among variety tasks can be facilitate scientific discovery from many different sources—simulation, experiment, and sensors, example—and being able do so at numerous computing scales will benefit real-time decision-making,...
Rapid growth in data, computational methods, and computing power is driving a remarkable revolution what variously termed machine learning (ML), statistical learning, artificial intelligence. In addition to highly visible successes machine-based natural language translation, playing the game Go, self-driving cars, these new technologies also have profound implications for experimental science engineering, as well exascale systems that Department of Energy (DOE) developing support those...

X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) are being recognized as a powerful tool in an ever-increasing number of research fields, but very limited to the experiments that they can support. This work shows more beamtime could be made available by using `parasitic' geometries, where secondary experiment uses beam primary does not utilize. The first successful ptychography experiment, scanning coherent diffractive imaging technique, parasitic geometry at FEL is demonstrated. Utilizing CXI hutch Linac...
