The R&D team called AI4Sim, involved in RAISE project, aims at developing artificial intelligence techniques to make physical modeling and numerical simulation more accurate and efficient on HPC platforms. They have successful collaborations with industrial and academic partners, in co-designing and co-developing AI-augmented simulation solutions through application of scientific machine learning techniques (surrogate models, deep learning, physics-informed neural network, black-box modeling, meta-optimization, AI-augmented workflow deployment, etc.) by relying on Bull R&D Infrastructures.

​

Bull will participate to WP2 that aims at building AI- and HPC-Cross Methods at Exascale. Contributions to WP2 will focus on benchmarking of disruptive technologies around quantum technlogies by relying on quantum optmizers from JSC. Bull will also provide its expertise on the application of ML methodologies to physics area.

In WP3, Bull will Implement hybrid DL techniques to surrogate and predict flame behaviors in particular in the context of thermo-diffusive instabilities applied to canonical use-cases with increasing complexities. Contributions will also focus on modeling the target configurations with AVBP-DL and the hybrid solver methodology, and the strategy for training that leads to optimal in-situ performance compared to investigation line.

In WP5, Bull will contribute to understanding market needs for the solution delivered by RAISE then help to develop adapted business model and Business Plan. Bull will propose a Goto market strategy and especially licensing and marketing of he product to build.

In WP6, Bull will exploit RAISE results by integrating them to its existing industrial solutions. Disseminaion events will also take place to valorize RAISE outputs.
