Overview of selected DOE/NNSA predictive science initiatives: The predictive science academic alliance program and the DAKOTA project
This paper supports a special session on "Frontiers of Uncertainty Management for Com- plex Aerospace Systems" with the intent of summarizing two aspects of the DOE/NNSA Accelerated Strategic Computing (ASC) program, each of which is focused on predictive science using complex simulation models. The first aspect is academic outreach, as enabled by the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP). The second aspect is the Dakota project at Sandia National Laboratories, which develops and deploys uncertainty quantification capabilities focused on high fidelity modeling and simulation on large-scale parallel computers.
