随着超级计算机性能的提高，仿真的规模和输出数据也越来越大。可视化通常是在进行计算机模拟后，在研究人员的PC上使用交互式可视化软件进行的。然而，数据大小目前变得太大，无法做到这一点。一个有希望的答案是原位可视化。对于这种情况，模拟代码与可视化代码耦合，并且可视化与在同一超级计算机上的模拟一起执行。我们开发了一个用于细胞内粒子(PIC)模拟的原位可视化工具，它是作为Fortran的一个模块提供的。我们将其与PIC模拟程序进行了耦合，并在等离子体模拟器超级计算机上对其进行了测试，确保了它的工作。
As the capability of a supercomputer is improved, the sizes of simulation and its output data also become larger and larger. Visualization is usually carried out on a researcher’s PC with interactive visualization software after performing the computer simulation. However, the data size is becoming too large to do it currently. A promising answer is in-situ visualization. For this case a simulation code is coupled with the visualization code and visualization is performed with the simulation on the same supercomputer. We developed an in-situ visualization tool for particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation and it is provided as a Fortran’s module. We coupled it with a PIC simulation code and tested the coupled code on Plasma Simulator supercomputer, and ensured that it works.
