MACC presents paper at ISAV 2021
“LOOM: Interweaving Tightly Coupled Visualization and Numeric Simulation Framework” is the title of the paper presented by The Minho Advanced Computing Center (MACC) at ISAV 2021.
On the 15th of November, the researchers João Barbosa and Luís Paulo Santos from INESC TEC, University of Minho and MACC, together with Paul Navratil and Donald Fussell from the University of Texas, presented their newest paper at ISAV 2021.
ISAV is an event that provides the opportunity for scientists, researchers and engineers to share their latest scientific achievements from different areas.
MACC’s paper, focused on how I/O check-pointing costs are high and can grow exponentially with increasing problem sizes, introduced a new interweaving approach supported by a task scheduling framework to allow tightly coupled in situ visualization without adding to the NS runtime.
The contributors demonstrate that LOOM can reduce time to visualization by 3x compared to a tradition non-interwoven pipeline.
According to the researchers, “Results show good potential for additional gains for large distributed-memory use cases with larger interleaving opportunities.”.
