DescriptionAs simulations grow in scale, the need for in situ
analysis methods to handle the large data produced grows
correspondingly. Often, however, these methods are not
interactive and are run as batch computations alongside
the simulation, hampering exploratory analysis. In this
work, we discuss a prototype integration of an
interactive OSPRay based particle viewer with LAMMPS,
via our communication library libIS, to implement an
exploratory in situ analysis tool. The flexible design
allows for running the viewer and simulation across the
spectrum of in situ proximity configurations
transparently. We use the SENSEI in situ interface to
communicate data from LAMMPS to libIS and demonstrate
our prototype system in different configurations on the
Theta and Stampede 2 supercomputers using LAMMPS
benchmarks.
