Numerical simulations require fine spatial and temporal discretizations that can be computationally expensive.  In this talk\, I will discuss GrainNN\, an efficient and accurate reduced-order model for epitaxial grain growth in additive manufacturing conditions. GrainNN  is a sequence-to-sequence long-short-term-memory (LSTM) deep neural network that evolves the dynamics of manually crafted features. We present results in which GrainGNN can be orders of magnitude faster than phase field simulations\, while delivering 5%–15% pointwise error. This speedup includes the cost of the phase field simulations for generating training data. GrainGNN enables predictive simulations and uncertainty quantification of grain microstructure for situations not previously possible. \nSpeaker Bio\nGeorge Biros\, Ph.D. – Professor and W. A. “Tex” Moncrief Chair in Simulation-Based Engineering Sciences\nGeorge Biros is the W.

Consider joining us!\nAbout the Event\nHPC simulation enables us to study physical systems that cannot be directly examined.   By converting internal digital representations of those physical systems to visual imagery\, we leverage our vast capability to understand the world around us to glean knowledge from computation.   Over the past few decades\, a great deal of work has been done on the computational aspects of the problem\, developing algorithms and systems for converting abstract data to forms amenable for rendering. In this talk we will discuss how the Sculpting Vis project\, a collective of computer scientists and artists at the University of Minnesota and the University of Texas\, are bringing artistic principles into the visualization process to make visualizations more effective in conveying information not only to the scientists behind the work but also to a broader public that needs to understand what it means about the world around us. This talk will be accompanied by a visit the TACC ACB Visualization Lab. \nAbout the Speaker\nGreg Abram\, Ph.D. – Research Scientist\, Scalable Vis Technologies\nGreg Abram is a computer scientist with many years of experience in developing and applying visualization tools to large scientific datasets.  During his 20 years at IBM Research he helped develop the IBM Visualization Data Explorer\, the first visualization system designed specifically for the large-scale datasets produced in HPC systems.  In his 15 years at TACC he has continued to develop visualization tools as well as apply them to a wide range of scientific endeavor. Greg earned his B.A.\, B.S.\, Mathematics from University of Florida and a M.S.\, Ph.D.\, Computer Science from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. \n \nMembers: remember to login to see your free ticket option.

McKetta Centennial Energy Chair in Engineering in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics\, and is the director of the Computational Hydraulics Group in the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. He received Bachelor of Arts and Master of Science degrees in mathematics from Texas Tech University in 1982 and 1984\, respectively. He received his Ph.D. from Rice University in 1988 in mathematical sciences. From 1988 to 1990 he was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow and Dickson Instructor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago. In 1990 he returned to Rice as an assistant professor in the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics. He was promoted to associate professor at Rice University in 1994.

Consider joining us!\nAbout the Event\nInspireSemi’s powerful Thunderbird “supercomputer cluster-on-a-chip” accelerated computing solution is based on an array of thousands of modern\, efficient\, and powerful 64-bit CPU cores\, tightly integrated with high-speed memory and networking.  With over 6\,000 interconnected 64-bit CPU cores (FP64) per PCIe card\, it is an energy-efficient and versatile platform for HPC\, AI\, graph analytics\, and other compute-intensive workloads. \nThunderbird leverages the modern\, open standard RISC-V CPU ISA (instruction set architecture)\, which provides access to an established\, thriving ecosystem of software\, compilers\, libraries\, and development tools. The developer-friendly all-CPU programming model eliminates vendor lock-in and greatly simplifies software development\, QA\, and maintenance\, since there is no need to support multiple and often proprietary software stacks (e.g. CUDA\, ROCM\, FPGAs\, etc.). This also enables the combination of HPC & AI on one platform for deeper insights and bigger advancements. \nAbout the Speakers\nAlex Gray\, Founder\, President\, and Chief Technology Officer\, Inspire Semiconductor\, Inc.\nAlex is the founder of InspireSemi and inventor of its processor architecture. He is a versatile technical leader skilled in most areas of electronic design\, and across other engineering disciplines. He previously founded CryptoCore Intellectual Holdings LLC\, the predecessor to InspireSemi\, and Gray Global Enterprises LLC\, a lab equipment supplier. He has over a decade of design engineering experience with companies including SunPower Corporation and SolarBridge Technologies. \nAlex earned his BS in Electrical Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign at age 20. He holds nine patents. \n \nDoug Norton\, Chief Marketing Officer\, Inspire Semiconductor\, Inc.\nDoug is a senior business development\, sales\, and marketing executive with over 35 years of experience in public and startup enterprise technology companies. He brings a customer focused approach to market development\, go to market strategy\, creating OEM\, channel\, & technology partnerships\, and building worldwide sales teams. \nHe began his career at IBM in product development then moved to the sales & marketing organization. He went on to various senior leadership positions at Cadence Design Systems\, CoWare\, Newisys\, Virtual Instruments\, and Nimbix.  He is President of the Society of HPC Professionals and member of the RISC-V SIG-HPC and marketing committee. Doug earned a BS in Electrical Engineering cum laude from Missouri University of Science & Technology. \nWhen he’s not working in HPC & AI\, his passion is all things automotive. This includes restoring cars (>30) as well as a namesake 1971 Norton Commando 750 motorcycle. \n \nMembers: remember to login to see your free ticket option.

Consider joining us!\nAbout the Event\nThe treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer often involves a combination of drugs targeting the HER2 receptor and chemotherapy. Determining the optimal therapeutic regimen that maximizes tumor control while minimizing toxicity remains a challenge. In this study\, we utilized data from a murine model of HER2+ breast cancer\, quantifying temporal changes in tumor volume under various trastuzumab and doxorubicin treatment protocols. \nEmploying a Bayesian framework\, we developed\, calibrated\, and selected ten mathematical models characterizing the dynamic relationship between tumor volume and drug availability\, as well as drug-drug interactions. Optimal control theory was then applied to identify two optimal treatment protocols. The first protocol\, using the same experimental doses for both drugs\, predicted an additional 45% reduction in tumor burden compared to the experimental regimen. The second protocol\, utilizing the same trastuzumab dose\, achieved equivalent tumor control with only 43% of the doxorubicin dose. \nOur results highlight the effectiveness of mathematical modeling and optimal control theory in identifying therapeutic regimens that enhance efficacy and minimize toxicity in HER2+ breast cancer treatment. \nAbout the Speaker\nErnesto Lima\, Ph.D.\, Research Associate\, Center for Computational Oncology at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin\nErnesto Lima received his Doctor of Science in Computational Modeling from the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) in Brazil in 2014. During his doctoral studies\, he was a visitor at the University of Texas at Austin. This experience inspired him to return to the University of Texas\, where he is currently a Research Associate at the Center for Computational Oncology at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences and a member of the Life Sciences group at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). \nHis research focuses on the development of numerical methods\, innovative tumor growth models\, treatment optimization\, and model selection and calibration. \n \nMembers: remember to login to see your free ticket option.
