In situ visualization and steering of computational modeling can be effectively achieved using reactive programming, which leverages temporal abstraction and data caching mechanisms to create dynamic workflows. However, implementing a temporal cache for large-scale simulations can be challenging. Implicit neural networks have proven effective in compressing large volume data. However, their application to distributed data has yet to be fully explored. In this work, we develop an implicit neural representation for distributed volume data and incorporate it into the DIVA reactive programming system. This implementation enables us to build an in situ temporal caching system with a capacity 100 times larger than previously achieved. We integrate our implementation into the Ascent infrastructure and evaluate its performance using real-world simulations.

In situ visualization techniques are hampered by a lack of foresight: crucial simulation phenomena can be missed due to a poor sampling rate or insufficient detail at critical timesteps. Keeping a human in the loop is impractical, and defining statistical triggers can be difficult. This paper demonstrates the potential for using a machine-learning-based simulation surrogate as an oracle to identify expected critical regions of a large-scale simulation. These critical regions are used to drive the in situ analysis, providing greater data fidelity and analysis resolution with an equivalent I/O budget to a traditional in situ framework. We develop a distributed asynchronous in situ visualization by integrating TACC Galaxy with CB-Geo MPM for material point simulation of granular flows.
