Abstract
We propose in this paper a data compression scheme for large-scale particle simulations, which has favorable prospects for scientific visualization of particle systems. Our data compression concepts deal with the data of particle orbits obtained by simulation directly and have the following features: (i) Through control over the compression scheme, the difference between the simulation variables and the reconstructed values for the visualization from the compressed data becomes smaller than a given constant. (ii) The particles in the simulation are regarded as independent particles and the time-series data for each particle is compressed with an independent time-step for the particle. (iii) A particle trajectory is approximated by a polynomial function based on the characteristic motion of the particle. It is reconstructed as a continuous curve through interpolation from the values of the function for intermediate values of the sample data. We name this concept "TOKI (Time-Order Kinetic Irreversible compression)". In this paper, we present an example of an implementation of a data-compression scheme with the above features. Several application results are shown for plasma and galaxy formation simulation data.
