Hybrid Approaches for Data Reduction of Spatiotemporal Scientific Applications

Scientists conduct large-scale simulations to compute derived quantities from primary data. Thus, it is crucial that data compression techniques maintain bounded errors on these derived quantities or quantities of interest (QOI). For many spatiotemporal applications, these QOIs are binary in nature and represent presence or absence of a physical phenomenon. In this work, we propose to use a hybrid approah for differential compression for such applications. We use a neural network (NN) approach to determine regions-of-interest (ROIs) where the binary QOIs are going to be prevalent. This is then used with traditional approaches that compress at a lower level (and higher accuracy) for these ROIs as compared to other regions.

Fast Algorithms for Scientific Data Compression

Many scientific simulations and experiments generate terabytes to petabytes of data daily, necessitating data compression techniques. Unlike video and image compression, scientists require methods that accurately preserve primary data (PD) and derived quantities of interest (QoIs). In our previous work, we demonstrated the effectiveness of hybrid compression techniques that combine machine learning with traditional approaches. This paper presents innovative computational techniques aimed at expediting the compression pipeline. Our experiments, conducted on two distinct platforms with a large-scale XGC-based fusion simulation, demonstrate that the overhead incurred by these new approaches is less than one percent of the computational resources needed for the simulation.

Online and Scalable Data Compression Pipeline with Guarantees on Quantities of Interest

Data compression is becoming critical for data-intensive scientific applications. Scientists require compression techniques that accurately preserve derived quantities of interest (QoIs). Prior work has shown that a pipeline can be built to guarantee error on the primary data (PD) within user-defined bounds and achieve near-floating point QoI errors. In this paper, we present novel computational approaches for accelerating the pipeline and demonstrate results that enable concurrent execution of compression in parallel with the simulation nodes. This allows compression, including the writing of the required compression data, for the previous time step to be completed while the simulation proceeds with the current time step. Overall, the approach presented in this paper results in a 6–8 times improvement in computational overhead compared to previous work. These results were obtained using data generated by a large-scale fusion code called XGC, which produces hundreds of terabytes of data in a single day.
