Interactive in situ visualization and analysis using Ascent and Jupyter
Seif Ibrahim, Thomas Stitt, Matthew C. Larsen, Cyrus Harrison · 2019
There is a gap in interactive in situ solutions for HPC simulations. While we have access to fully-featured visualization UIs through tools like ParaViewCatalyst and VisItLibSim,we lack in situ infrastructure to access more general interactive environments like Jupyter. The Jupyter ecosystem of tools provides a rich paradigm for interactive data analysis and is well-suited to help expand interactive use of in situ. Both the complexity of the Jupyter ecosystem and the security requirements of HPC centers pose challenges to developing software infrastructure that enables direct use of Jupyter in simulation codes.
