I thought there might be junior scientists/programmers who works in your team will do the bulk of the work under your supervision. Now I understand that you would like to participate only in specific issues which is not readily available or needs further development in PETSc. As you say some issues may arise while using it and if so, you would like to participate in resolving such issues either in a future DOE proposal or through a self-generated project by PETSc community. Correct me if my understanding is not right. We did work with university and consultants as sub-contractor in the past from this organization, but not directly with research labs.

As I mentioned we can do that task ourselves - we do have people who used the same workflow as I provided in my email, but it was for a different application.

First: For staff at the DOE National Laboratories, it is very time-consuming to get approvals to participate as a subcontractor for something like an SBIR or STTR project. I receive a small amount of funding from an SBIR project right now, and it literally
took weeks to get that proposal through all of the required approvals, including an "letter of commitment" signed by the the Laboratory's Director of Sponsored Research, as well as approval from our Contracting Officer at the DOE Site Office in Chicago. There
are many steps of the review to ensure that proposed work is consistent with the DOE and Argonne missions, that it does not adversely impact DOE work at Argonne, and that it is not in direct competition with the private sector. The laboratory's guidance on
this approval process state that we should allow a minimum of 15 business days for this process, but, with the current upheaval due to the transition to the new Administration, I suspect that more than 15 business days would be required. I also note that a
reasonably close to complete draft of the proposal is required to be submitted at the beginning of the approval process, so you need to factor in time to develop the proposal ahead of the approval window if you want to respond to a future STTR or SBIR call
and partner with a DOE Laboratory.</div>

Second: The breakdown of work that you are proposing isn't really aligned what with laboratory research scientists like Todd, Mark, and I are expected to do. We are primarily researchers, and our output is judged similarly to that of a professor at an R1 university,
except that we have no teaching load and engage in some programmatic work. What you have proposed is having us develop a complete finite-element analysis code to some specification you provide, which we will then hand to you (before you implement part or all
of it using FPGAs). For this sort of arrangement, it sounds like what you are looking for is scientific programmers who work on contract. That is not the role that we play. We do research on computational mathematics and its applications, and we develop software
to aid this research and to enable the broader computing community to benefit from our research and perhaps collaborate with us on further developments. This has led to a widely-used piece of software, PETSc, which provides useful computational building blocks
that many teams have used to build finite-element analysis applications, but when teams have used PETSc for such work and have teamed with us, it has very much been in a collaborative research relationship: others are doing much of the development of their
FEM code, but we help them because, say, they are modeling systems with very difficult nonlinearities, discontinuous jumps in material coefficients, strangely stretched elements, etc., that cause problems for simple algebraic solvers, so we collaborate with
them on developing new solver techniques that are amenable to their problems.</div>

It may make sense for you to partner with us or other members of the PETSc team in the future, but I think you need to take some time to lay more of the groundwork before a future funding call. You can experiment with porting a PETSc-based FEM code using your
FPGA approach without needing anything from us right now: There are numerous finite-element example codes provided with PETSc (Mark has written a few of them, and might be able to recommend some good ones to start with). You could start by playing with these
examples and then try porting bits of them to FPGAs. As I said in an earlier message, based on my limited experience with FPGAs, I suspect that you will run into several technical challenges. When you have had a chance to identify these challenges, then it
might make sense to come back to the PETSc team to describe some of them — you can start by emailing petsc-maint or petsc-users about this — and perhaps eventually develop a proposal that aims to address them in collaboration with the team.</div>

Apologies if I have had to disappoint you, and best of luck. Perhaps later there will be good opportunities to partner with us in the future. I encourage you to experiment some with PETSc to determine whether it is the right software toolkit to use for your
FPGA-targeted applications, and to not be shy about asking on the PETSc user lists as you uncover issues as you experiment.</div>

Amidst all these organizational and administrative changes, I have good news to share that our LOI has been accepted by DOE and the final proposal submission is due on 26th February 2025. The proposal is about an FEA thermal analysis using PETSc and porting
it to FPGA for its real time simulation.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:"new times",serif;font-size:16px">

<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:"new times",serif;font-size:16px">
Given a mechanical drawing of an object, in PETSC a mesh will be generated and then a thermal problem will be formulated using FEA theory and boundary condition to generate a global stiffness matrix in the form of Ax =B, which will be eventually solved using
linear or non-linear solver. In Phase I, we will concentrate only on linear system and only the solver part will be implemented in FPGA to demonstrate the real time operation in part. In Phase II, the entire FEA problem formulation with non-linearity as well
as solver will be implemented in FPGA to have a complete real time solution.</div>

We went through PETSc libraries and one of our team members has used it extensively during his PhD. The steps we would like to follow to formulate a FEA problem, and its solution is described in the attached document. </div>

Your project sounds interesting, but, unfortunately, I don't think that there is time before your LOI is due for me to understand your application, discuss whether PETSc is appropriate for it, or how you would map any implementation using PETSc to FPGA hardware.
PETSc is an extremely complicated piece of software and a lot of effort is required from algorithm selection and parallel problem decomposition on down to details of individual microkernels when bringing it to and optimizing it for new kinds of computing architectures.
(I spent roughly six years working with several others on getting solid GPU support in PETSc, for instance.) I have a little bit of familiarity with FPGAs from my time at ORNL and Intel, and I think that enabling PETSc to make efficient use of FPGAs is going
to be a highly non-trivial (though interesting!) project. Are you familiar at all with PETSc, and do you have a particular reason that you think it would be helpful to your work? You might be better served by using a different piece of software as a starting
point, if you do not need things like the distributed memory-parallel implementations or the advanced, composable solvers and preconditioners. If you do have a particular need for things that PETSc provides, perhaps I or others from the PETSc team could discuss
this with you with future opportunities in mind. Best of luck to you if you do submit an STTR proposal this time.</div>

IBR in real time. In addition, we can conduct a thermal and structural FEA analysis in real time for up to 1-5 Million grid points. </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(38,40,42)">
A new DOE solicitation is out where we can propose a one stop solution for solar power IBR where we can model an IBR with very low step size (20-40ns) for its real time simulation and also, we can calculate thermal loss through semiconductor switches and then
provide a thermal footprint of the IBR in real time employing a FEA analysis. We have implemented a thermal analysis of a heat sink using our proprietary FPGA implementation in real time with 52000 nodes and can extend it upto 1-5M. I am wondering if you would
like to take part as RI for our STTR application where you can formulate the FEA problem using PETSC or any other software and then we can implement the same in FPGA for its real time implementation. If so, let me know by COB today. We do not have much time
- the LOI is due tomorrow 4:00 PM central time, and the full proposal is due on 26th February. If you would like we can have a quick call to discuss. At this time an email consent will be fine and then we can discuss the detailed scopes and deliverable in
next couple of weeks. The STTR</div>
