Assessing the Effects of Data Compression in Simulations Using Physically Motivated Metrics
This paper examines whether lossy compression can be used effectively in physics simulations as a possible strategy to combat the expected data-movement bottleneck in future high performance computing architectures. We show that, for the codes and simulations we tested, compression levels of 3–5X ca...
