High performance uncertainty quantification analysis of RF devices

We present a high-performance, integrated environment for uncertainty quantification (UQ) and reliability analysis (RA) of Vacuum Electronic RF devices based on Sandia National Lab's DAKOTA toolkit, NRL's GPU-accelerated, 3D Electromagnetic PIC code Neptune, and AFRL's Galaxy Simulation Builder productivity tool for distributed high-performance computing. The environment allows for UQ studies of RF devices to be incorporated in the device design process and to be deployed, carried out, monitored and analyzed in an efficient, user-friendly, robust, and flexible manner, using a diverse variety of high-end parallel computing resources.
