Design-Space Exploration

A single hero number can hide a fragile design. Kronos maps the whole neighbourhood around its operating point.

Process & MethodologyUpdated 2026-08-11
Breeder scan
25,000+ configurations

Rather than tune a single case, Kronos runs large parameter scans — the breeder design-space scan alone spans over 25,000 configurations — and reports the operating window, not just the peak. This shows how sensitive the design is and where the closure boundaries lie.

Publishing the window, including the regions where the machine does not close, is a deliberate credibility choice.

Closure boundariesThe burner scans show closure crossing a specific fuel-fraction boundary; the deposit reports both sides of it.

Common questions

What is design-space exploration?

Systematically varying inputs across the reduced-order engines to map how performance responds, so the chosen point is understood in context rather than found by luck.

What makes it practical here?

The fast reduced-order engines — running large scans is cheap, which is exactly why Kronos uses transparent engines rather than only heavy simulation.
