Story Mode for Teaching Cross-Curricular Coding Projects
SBC: CODESPARK, INC. Topic: 91990019R0012In previous R&D, the developers created codeSpark Academy, a game that employs a visual and block-based approach with puzzles to teach coding skills to students ages 5 to 9 years old. codeSpark Academy is in widespread use in and out of schools around the world. In this project, the developers will expand storytelling creative tools within the existing game. The pretend-play scenarios will include ...

Tools for Memory Hierarchy Optimization on Pre-Exascale HPC Architectures
SBC: EP ANALYTICS, INC.. Topic: DTRA172003DTRA uses High Fidelity Computer Codes (HFCC) to investigate weapon effects and techniques for countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). End-to-end HFCC simulations in support of the DTRA Agent Defeat Warfighter Capability will require calculations including multiple phenomena that occur in vastly different time scales (µ-sec to hours). As DTRA becomes increasingly reliant on computational mo ...

DLeN: Deep Learning for standoff detection of Special Nuclear Material
SBC: Clostra, Inc. Topic: DTRA162001Deep Learning for standoff detection of Special Nuclear Material (DLeN) applies the same deep learning techniques that allow computers to beat human performance in image recognition and the game of Go to detecting Special Nuclear Material. Spectral analysis and signal processing can in some cases be augmented by the use of much larger neural nets that conduct much deeper analysis of features of th ...

Compact Laser Drivers for Photoconductive Semicond
SBC: SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES Topic: DTRA16A004For effective protection against radiated threats, it is important to understand not only the physics of the threats, but also to quantify the effects they have on mission-critical electrical systems. Radiated vulnerability and susceptibility testing requires delivery of high peak power and peak electric fields to distant targets. The most practical solution to simulate such environments on large ...
