Item Dynamic I/O Budget Reallocation For In Situ Wavelet Compression(The Eurographics Association, 2019) Marsaglia, Nicole J.; Li, Shaomeng; Belcher, Kristi; Larsen, Matthew; Childs, Hank; Childs, Hank and Frey, SteffenIn situ wavelet compression is a potential solution for enabling post hoc visualization on supercomputers with slow I/O systems. While this in situ compression is typically accomplished by allocating an equal storage budget to each parallel process, we propose an adaptive approach. With our approach, we introduce an assessment step prior to compression, where each process characterizes the variation in its portion of the data, and then dynamically adapts storage budgets to the processes with the most variation. We conducted experiments comparing our adaptive approach with the traditional, non-adaptive approach, on two different simulation codes with concurrencies of 512 cores and mesh resolutions of one billion cells. Our findings show that our adaptive approach yields three orders of magnitude of improvement for one simulation and is not harmful for the other.Item An Interpolation Scheme for VDVP Lagrangian Basis Flows(The Eurographics Association, 2019) Sane, Sudhanshu; Childs, Hank; Bujack, Roxana; Childs, Hank and Frey, SteffenUsing the Eulerian paradigm, accurate flow visualization of 3D time-varying data requires a high temporal resolution resulting in large storage requirements. The Lagrangian paradigm has proven to be a viable in situ-based approach to tackle this large data visualization problem. However, previous methods constrained the generation of Lagrangian basis flows to the special case of fixed duration and fixed placement (FDFP), in part because reconstructing the flow field using these basis flows is trivial. Our research relaxes this constraint, by considering the general case of variable duration and variable placement (VDVP) with the goal of increasing the amount of information per byte stored. That said, reconstructing the flow field using VDVP basis flows is non-trivial; the primary contribution of our work is a method we call VDVP-Interpolation which solves this problem. VDVP-Interpolation reduces error propagation and limits interpolation error while using VDVP Lagrangian basis flows. As a secondary contribution of the work, we generate VDVP basis flows for multiple data sets and demonstrate improved accuracy-storage propositions compared to previous work. In some cases, we demonstrate up to 40-60% more accurate pathline calculation while using 50% less data storage.Item PGV 2019: Frontmatter(The Eurographics Association, 2019) Childs, Hank; Frey, Steffen; Childs, Hank and Frey, Steffen
