SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop on Redundancy in Bridges for Risk Mitigation in a Multi-Hazard Environment
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be held over two days (July 21 & July 28). A link will be sent to all registered participants\, registration is required. \nRecent collapse of several bridges\, such as the I-35 truss bridge in Minneapolis in 2007\, Ponte Morandi cable stayed bridge in Genoa\, Italy\, in 2018\, Florida International University Pedestrian Bridge in 2018 and Nanfang’ao steel single-arch bridge in Taiwan in 2019\, have highlighted the importance of the role of redundancy in the safety of bridges. \nThe purpose of this virtual workshop is to identify needs and gaps in the current state-of-the-art / practice on different aspects of redundancy\, which is defined as “the quality of a bridge that enables it to perform its design function in the damaged state”. The commentary of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification (C.1.3.2.1) notes that the current approach of incorporating redundancy in bridge design is “arbitrary” and “subjective”.  The use of redundancy as a means for hazard mitigation in the event of loss of a critical member has also not been explored in the current framework.  Current simulation technology has advanced to the point where it can be used for assessing the effect of member criticality on the overall system collapse response.  This approach is more rational and objective for assessing redundancy in critical and important bridges\, but particularly for long-span bridges which are critical assets. There is therefore an urgent need for an open forum discussion through a workshop for assessing the current framework on redundancy and identifying the gaps and challenges\, and future research priorities. \nCheck out breakout session 3: “Current simulation technology during the design process” led by Dr. Mohammed Ettouney

SUMMARY:Efficient Data Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Tired of using `table` and `summary`?  Or repeatedly using a `group_by %>% summarise` approach?  Many are still using R inefficiently to summarize data\, especially for presentation. However\, data needs to be explored before modeling can take place\, both to familiarize oneself with the strengths and limitations of the data\, as well as to diagnose errors or spot potential problems that might arise.  So how can we do this sort of thing better?\n\nThis workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of several packages that might be of interest to those seeking a more automatic way to summarize their data before analysis\, or simply to share with others.

SUMMARY:SRTI: Software For Cross-Language Real-Time Data Communication
DESCRIPTION:A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. \nComputer software simulation is used in virtually every discipline. These programs virtually represent small components of real-world events and behaviors\, and allow scientists to test different models to guide real-world research. However\, these can be individually complex\, and written in different computer languages and programs. It’s a difficult task to combine simulators from different parts of a research team to represent larger systems. \nThe “Simple Run-Time Infrastructure” is an open-source\, free-to-use software tool\, developed at the University of Michigan. It was built to simplify the process of sharing data between multiple live simulators\, using a “publish/subscribe” model with messages rather than directly to specific programs. This workshop will present the background of the SRTI’s development\, what it is capable of\, and will provide a step-by-step example for participants. \nJava will be required to run the SRTI. The example will use an optional mixture that includes simulators written in Java\, Matlab\, and Python.

SUMMARY:Advanced research computing on the Great Lakes Cluster
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW\n\n\nThis workshop will cover some more advanced topics in computing on the U-M Great Lakes Cluster. Topics to be covered include a review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Great Lakes; dependent and array scheduling; workflow scripting using bash; high-throughput computing using launcher; parallel processing in one or more of Python\, R\, and MATLAB; and profiling of parallel code using Allinea Performance Reports and Allinea MAP. \nPRE-REQUISITES\nThis course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the CSCAR/ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them. \nINSTRUCTORS\nDr. Charles J Antonelli\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nCharles is a member of the LSA Technology Services Research team at the University of Michigan\, where he is responsible for high performance computing support and education\, and was an Advocate to the Departments of History and Communications. Prior to this\, he built a parallel data ingestion component of a novel earth science data assimilation system\, a secure packet vault\, and worked on the No. 5 ESS Switch at Bell Labs in the 80s. He has taught courses in operating systems\, distributed file systems\, C++ programming\, security\, and database application design. \nJohn Thiels\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nMATERIALS\n\nLecture Notes\nMPI Profiling with Allinea MAP\nGreat Lakes Slurm HPC cluster\n\n\nCOURSE PREPARATION\nIn order to participate successfully in the workshop exercises\, you must have a user login\, a Slurm account\, and be enrolled in Duo. The user login allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare jobs for submission. The Slurm account allows you to submit those jobs\, executing the applications in parallel on the cluster and charging their resource use to the account. Duo is required to help authenticate you to the cluster. \nUSER LOGIN\nIf you already have a Flux user login\, you don’t need to do anything.  Otherwise\, go to the Flux user login application page at: http://arc-ts.umich.edu/login-request/ . \nPlease note that obtaining a user account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins. \nSLURM ACCOUNT\nWe create a Slurm account for the workshop so you can run jobs on the cluster during the workshop and for one day after for those who would like additional practice.

SUMMARY:Research computing on the Great Lakes Cluster
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW \nThis workshop will provide a brief overview of the components of the Great Lakes Cluster. The main body of the workshop will cover the resource manager and scheduler\, creating submissions scripts to run jobs and the options available in them\, and hands-on experience. By the end of the workshop\, every participant should have created a submission script\, submitted a job\, tracked its progress\, and collected its output. Participants will have several working examples from which to build their own submissions scripts in their own home directories. \nPRE-REQUISITES\nThis course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the CSCAR/ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them. \nINSTRUCTORS\nDr. Charles J Antonelli\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nCharles is a member of the LSA Technology Services Research team at the University of Michigan\, where he is responsible for high performance computing support and education\, and was an Advocate to the Departments of History and Communications.

SUMMARY:Statistical analysis with missing data in Python
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nMissing data arise in many fields of research\, and a large body of statistical tools has been developed to facilitate statistical analysis in the presence of missing data.  Here we focus mainly on multiple imputation\, which is a broadly-applicable approach for working with missing data. We will illustrate through several case studies how multiple imputation allows certain types of missing data to be rigorously accounted for\, while preserving the flexibility to use a variety of familiar statistical tools to account for other aspects of the data.   The analyses presented in this workshop will be performed in Python using the Statsmodels package. All software tools covered in this workshop are free and open source.

SUMMARY:Webinar: 2020 MICDE Catalyst Grants Showcase - Session II
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will showcase some of the game-changing research supported by our Catalyst Grants program. \nThis event was recorded and will be on the UM Youtube channel shortly. \nSpeakers\n \nStephen Smith\nAssociate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\nUniversity of Michigan\nThe Emergence of Biological Complexity and Evolutionary Innovation in Plant Genomes\n\nXun Huan\nAssistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering\nUniversity of Michigan\nTowards Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification in Deep Learning Models for Brain Tumor Segmentation\nWhile the use of deep learning (DL) models in healthcare has grown rapidly in recent years\, the uncertainty/confidence information in their predictions is often unavailable and unreported. A lack of such information can render decision-making dangerous\, and prompt clinicians to hesitate in using and trusting these machine learning technologies. We propose to adopt principles and computational methods of uncertainty quantification for medical artificial intelligence applications\, focusing on a problem of brain tumor segmentation from MRI scans. As a first step\, we assess the robustness and sensitivity of two such DL models\, U-Net and SqueezeU-Net\, with respect to uncertainty in model weights\, which may arise due to sparsity and noise in training data features as well as labels. We achieve this through Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation of noise injected on trained weight values. The resulting uncertainty of segmentation maps can then be presented and visualized through robustness maps and summarizing box-plots of the Dice coefficients\, which can help indicate the regions where our models do not predict well and most susceptible to training noise. In our on-going work\, we seek to compute the Bayesian posterior distributions for the weights directly from training data. However\, performing a full-scale inference for the millions of weights in U-Net and SqueezeU-Net would be prohibitive. Instead\, we develop a procedure to use sensitivity analysis to identify the most important subset of weights (or layers)\, and perform a targeted Bayesian inference on this lower-dimensional parameter space. \n\nMonica Valluri\nResearch Professor of Astronomy\nUniversity of Michigan\nProbing the nature of dark matter by modeling the Milky Way\nDespite nearly four decades of research in astrophysics and particle physics\, the nature of dark matter\, the substance that comprises 85% of the matter in the universe\, is unknown. The shape of the Milky Way’s dark matter distribution and the variation of this shape with radius are important probes of the nature of dark matter. Mapping the detailed formation history of the Milky Way\, especially the number of satellites that were assimilated by our Galaxy and their masses and their time of infall will provide clues to the dark matter distribution in satellites as well as evidence for nearby streams and dark matter satellites. We are developing a multi-pronged approach to understanding the nature of dark matter with new dynamical tools\, new simulations and analysis of large cosmological simuations. I will describe progress on our efforts to enhance the galactic dynamics package AGAMA (Vasiliev\, 2019)by adding GPU acceleration for the potential and action solvers. I will provide an update on how we are using positions and velocities for old stars in the Milky Way’s halo to determine the three dimensional shape of the dark matter distribution and its variation with radius.I will describe new simulations of the evolution of satellites that merge with our Milky Way that can lead to insights into the fundamental nature of dark matter. Finally I will descibe the use of two cluster finding tools (a self organizing mapping and multi-dimensional density estimation)\, that when applied to action-space properties of stars in the Milky Way’s halo\, can yield insights into the accretion history of our Galaxy. This concert of efforts will significantly advance our goal of understanding the fundamental nature of dark matter using the properties of stars in the Milky Way.

SUMMARY:Webinar: 2020 MICDE Catalyst Grants Showcase - Session I
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will showcase some of the game-changing research supported by our Catalyst Grants program. \nThis event was recorded and will be on the UM Youtube channel shortly. \nSpeakers\n \nRobert Krasny\nProfessor of Applied Mathematics and Mathematics\nUniversity of Michigan\nINTEGRAL EQUATION BASED METHODS FOR SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING\nThere are several different approaches to the numerical solution of partial differential equations. For example\, finite-difference methods and finite-element methods discretize either the strong form or the weak form of the equation in real space\, while spectral methods discretize the equation in reciprocal space. This project employs an alternative method which converts the differential equation into an integral equation by convolution with the Green’s function\, followed by discretization and linear solution; the hope is that this approach is more amenable to adaptive refinement and parallelization than other methods. In the past\, integral equation based methods were hindered by the difficulty of discretizing singular integrals and the cost of computing dense matrix-vector products\, but these obstacles are being brought under control. We present our recent work in this area including (1) a GPU-accelerated barycentric treecode for long-range particle interactions\, (2) applications in electrostatics\, electronic structure\, and vortex dynamics. \n\nVikram Gavini\nProfessor of Mechanical Engineering\nUniversity of Michigan\nLong time-scale simulations using exponential time-propagators\nHigh-fidelity long-time scale simulations have been a challenge in a wide range of areas\, including time-dependent electronic structure calculations and molecular dynamics. In particular\, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations are limited to time-scales of the order of hundred femtoseconds\, and MD simulations (even those based on interatomic potentials) are routinely limited to time-scales of the order of nanoseconds. However\, there is very rich material phenomena\, both at the quantum and atomistic scale\, that occurs at time-scales that are orders of magnitude larger than the currently accessible range. In this talk\, I will present the ideas we have been exploring as part of the MICDE catalyst grant to enable long time-scale simulations on a class of time-dependent problems. In particular\, we investigate the use of exponential time-propagators as an alternative to the finite-difference based time-discretization of the PDEs. The ideas will be presented for time-dependent density functional theory and elastodynamics—as a prototypical problem for molecular dynamics—along with numerical results demonstrating the viability and computational efficiency of the proposed ideas. \nThis is joint work with Bikash Kanungo and Paavai Pari. \n\n \nYulin Pan\nAssistant Professor of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering\nUniversity of Michigan\nReal-Time Phase-resolved ocean wave forecast with data assimilation enabled by gpu-accelerated computation\nThe real-time phase-resolved prediction of ocean waves is crucial for the safety of offshore operations. With the development of the remote sensing technology\, it is now possible to reconstruct the phase-resolved ocean surface from radar measurements in real time. Using the reconstructed ocean surface as initial condition\, nonlinear wave models such as the high-order spectral (HOS) method can be applied to predict the evolution of the ocean waves. However\, the computations reply heavily on large CPU clusters which are usually not available in the offshore onboard environment\, and the prediction can deviate quickly from the true wave evolution due to the chaotic nature of the nonlinear wave equations. To address these problems\, we develop a novel GPU-accelerated computational framework\, which features the coupling of HOS and an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) to reduce the uncertainties in the prediction. The new framework algorithm is tested and validated using both synthetic and real wave data\, and is shown promising in fundamentally improving the real-time prediction capability of ocean waves.

SUMMARY:Mediation analysis in Python
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nMediation analysis is a set of tools for exploring hypotheses about causal pathways\, with a special focus on differentiating “direct” from “mediated” associations between an exposure and an outcome.  Many approaches to mediation analysis are based on regression analysis. In this workshop\, we will cover some of the basic ideas behind regression-based mediation analysis\, and show how this type of analysis can be performed in Python using the Statsmodels package.  All software tools covered in this workshop are free and open source.
