Grid-based simulations of hot fusion plasmas are often severely limited by computational and memory resources; the grids live in four- to six-dimensional space and thus suffer the curse of dimensionality. However, high resolutions are required to fully capture the physics of interest. The sparse grid combination technique is a multi-scale method in which many anisotropically coarse resolved grids are used to approximate a fine-scale solution---and it alleviates the curse of dimensionality.
