Computational simulation continues to advance in its predictive capability through the development of high-fidelity multi-physics/multi-scale simulation models, with unprecedented resolution enabled by the latest high-performance computers. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) methodologies are challenged in this environment, both by the prohibitive cost of computing high-fidelity ensembles and by the increasing number of uncertainty sources that is often induced by this model complexity. One strategy to address these challenges is to harness the utility that exists within hierarchies of model forms (multifidelity) and resolution levels (multilevel and multi-index) in order to control multiple sources of error while optimizing the allocation of simulation resources. By relaxing the need for exclusive reliance on the most expensive models, high-fidelity UQ studies become tractable. This talk will overview our work in R&D of multilevel/multifidelity (ML/MF) algorithms and new directions identified in deployments to DOE mission areas.
