CWI’s Deep Active Subspace (DAS) method integrates seamlessly with the SEAVEA toolkit by providing a powerful, neural network–based way to reduce the dimensionality of high‑dimensional models—crucial for efficient uncertainty quantification (UQ) at exascale. DAS embeds an orthonormal linear projection in a neural network to learn key input directions without needing expensive gradients. SEAVEA incorporates this technique (often via the EasySurrogate module) to accelerate surrogate creation in fields like materials science and drug discovery. Developed under the VECMA and SEAVEA collaboration, it enables rapid, scalable UQ workflows on supercomputers—making large-scale simulations more tractable and trustworthy.

UKAEA, through its collaboration on the ExCALIBUR programme and the SEAVEA toolkit, is applying rigorous VVUQ techniques to plasma turbulence at the edge of tokamak fusion reactors. In the flagship NEPTUNE use case, SEAVEA supports the development of exascale-ready infrastructure for modeling the complex plasma–neutral gas interaction in reactor “edge” regions — a notoriously multiscale, multiphysics challenge. UKAEA researchers are integrating uncertainty quantification directly into their high-order PDE solvers for edge turbulence, preparing codes like BOUT++ and custom proxy-apps for VVUQ workflows via SEAVEA. This allows systematic evaluation of model reliability and error estimation, making plasma-edge simulations more trustworthy and actionable for future reactor designs under real-world uncertainties.
