In Situ Visualization for Computational Science

This book provides an overview of the emerging field of in situ visualization, i.e. visualizing simulationdataas it is generated. In situ visualization is aprocessing paradigm in response to recent trends in the development of high-performance computers. It has great promise in its ability toaccess increased temporal resolution and leverage extensive computational power. However, the paradigm also is widely viewed as limiting when itcomes to exploration-oriented use cases. Furthermore, it will require visualization systems to become increasingly complex and constrained in usage. Asresearch efforts on in situ visualization are growing, the state of the art and best practices are rapidly maturing. Specifically, this book contains chapters that reflect state-of-the-art research results and best practices in the area of in situ visualization. Our targetaudience are researchers and practitioners from the areas of mathematics computational science, high-performance computing, and computer science thatwork on or with in situ techniques, or desire to do so in future.
