Abstract

In situ techniques have become a very active research area since they have been shown to be an effective way to combat the issues associated with the ever growing gap between computation and I/O bandwidth. In order to take full advantage of in situ techniques with a large-scale simulation code, it is critical to understand the breadth and depth of its analysis requirements. In this paper, we present the results of a survey done with members of the XGC1 fusion simulation code team in order to gather their requirements for analysis and visualization. We look at these requirements from the perspective of in situ processing and present a list of XGC1 analysis tasks performed by its physicists, engineers, and visualization specialists. This analysis of the specific needs and use cases of a single code is important in understanding the nature of the needs that simulations have in terms of data movement and usage for visualization and analysis, now and in the future.
