In-Situ Visualization and Steering of Digital Twins for Particle Accelerators
DescriptionDigital twins are emerging as a transformative concept for the design, operation, and optimisation of complex scientific instruments. In this plenary, I will present recent progress on integrating in-situ visualization and interactive steering into the open-source accelerator simulation framework OPAL. The motivation is rooted in the way modern particle accelerators are operated—where real-time monitoring, adaptive decision-making, and iterative optimisation are indispensable.
By coupling high-fidelity simulations with in-situ analysis and steering, we demonstrate a new paradigm: optimisation during simulation. This approach reduces turnaround time, enables exploration of vast parameter spaces, and creates opportunities for interactive workflows that mirror experimental practice. Beyond accelerator science, these developments resonate strongly with other domains that rely on large-scale digital twins, such as fusion energy, materials science, and climate modelling.
I will discuss the architectural and HPC challenges of enabling such capabilities, including integration with exascale systems, data movement constraints, and scalability considerations. I will conclude with a perspective on how in-situ visualization and steering can reshape scientific computing more broadly, supporting interactive, real-time science at unprecedented scales.
