Software Sustainability in Cyclus
Kathryn (Katy) Huff
A Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation Framework
Cyclus Infrastructure
- C++
- Python
- xml
- CMake
- conda
- GoogleTest
- nose
- hdf5
- sqlite
- boost
- Coin-Cbc
Agent Based Systems Analysis
Hundreds of discrete facilities mine, mill, convert, fabricate, transmute, recycle, and store nuclear material.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
A facility might create material.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
It might request material.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
It might do both.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
Even simple fuel cycles have many independent agents.
Lessons Learned: Openness
Obviously.
Communication Drives Collaboration
Workflows must be Motivated
Lessons Learned: Flexibility
Export control is serious.
'Modified' Open Source
Dynamic library loading and modular encapsulation allow for security of proprietary or sensitive data.
Lessons Learned: Developers Disappear
But, Leaders Appear
Leadership transition is key. Be friends.
