• Abstract summary: upcoming exascale era will provide a new generation of physics simulations with high resolution. These simulations will have a high resolution, which will impact the training of machine learning models since storing a high amount of simulation data on disk is nearly impossible. This work presents an approach that trains a neural network concurrently to a running simulation without data on a disk.

• Abstract: The upcoming exascale era will provide a new generation of physics simulations. These simulations will have a high spatiotemporal resolution, which will impact the training of machine learning models since storing a high amount of simulation data on disk is nearly impossible. Therefore, we need to rethink the training of machine learning models for simulations for the upcoming exascale era. This work presents an approach that trains a neural network concurrently to a running simulation without storing data on a disk. The training pipeline accesses the training data by in-memory streaming. Furthermore, we apply methods from the domain of continual learning to enhance the generalization of the model. We tested our pipeline on the training of a 3d autoencoder trained concurrently to laser wakefield acceleration particle-in-cell simulation. Furthermore, we experimented with various continual learning methods and their effect on the generalization.

  We present a method to improve generalization and robustness to distribution shifts in sim-to-real visual quadrotor navigation tasks. We first build a simulator by integrating Gaussian splatting with quadrotor flight dynamics, and then, train robust navigation policies using Liquid neural networks. In this way, we obtain a full-stack imitation learning protocol that combines advances in 3D Gaussian splatting radiance field rendering, programming of expert demonstration training data, and the task understanding capabilities of Liquid networks.

  We use end-to-end deep learning to improve approximations inside computational fluid dynamics for modeling two-dimensional turbulent flows. For both direct numerical simulation of turbulence and large eddy simulation, our results are as accurate as baseline solvers with 8-10x finer resolution in each spatial dimension. Our approach exemplifies how scientific computing can leverage machine learning and hardware accelerators to improve simulations without sacrificing accuracy or generalization.

  We show that an accurate deep-learning-based proxy model can be taught efficiently by a finite-volume-based simulator. Compared to traditional simulation, the proposed deep learning approach enables much faster forward computation. We quantify the sensitivity of the deep learning model to key physical parameters and hence demonstrate that the inversion problems can be solved with great acceleration.
