Capabilities

01

HPC Modernization

We port legacy Fortran and C++ scientific codes to modern NVIDIA GPUs. SIMD intrinsics, CUDA, OpenMP, MPI, Kokkos. Every transformation is profiled against ground-truth baselines in Nsight Compute.

Reference: 287× cumulative speedup on a parallel molecular-dynamics kernel (Harvard HUIT cluster, 2025).

02

Deterministic Simulation

Seed-deterministic synthetic-environment pipelines on Unreal Engine 5.7. Georeferenced terrain, multi-modal sensor output, neural sim-to-real refinement via Stable Diffusion XL and ControlNet.

Reference: defense aerial AI/ML training program — render-farm wall-clock 15 min → 5 s warm under bit-exact reproducibility.

03

Runtime-Assured Autonomy

Bayesian decision-consistency monitors for AI-driven autonomy under mission-level uncertainty. Black-box monitoring of autonomy commands against counter-factual replay environments.

Target: DAF26BZ01-NV008 (DoD Phase I SBIR, proposal in development).

Proven on production HPC.
