Raphael Pestourie Assistant Professor, Georgia Tech, School of Computational Science and Engineering Abstract Complex systems are hard to simulate and even more difficult to optimize. In this talk, I will showcase how surrogate models accelerate the evaluation of properties of solutions to partial differential equations. I will present a precise definition of the computational benefit …
