ANTIC: Adaptive Neural Temporal In-situ Compressor

The persistent storage requirements for high-resolution, spatiotemporally evolving fields governed by large-scale and high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) have reached the petabyte-to-exabyte scale. Transient simulations modeling Navier-Stokes equations, magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics, or binary black hole mergers generate data volumes that are prohibitive for modern high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures. To address this bottleneck, we introduce ANTIC (Adaptive Neural Temporal in situ Compressor), an end-to-end in situ compression pipeline. ANTIC consists of an adaptive temporal selector tailored to high-dimensional physics that identifies and filters informative snapshots at simulation time, combined with a spatial neural compression module based on continual fine-tuning that learns residual updates between adjacent snapshots using neural fields. By operating in a single streaming pass, ANTIC enables a combined compression of temporal and spatial components and effectively alleviates the need for explicit on-disk storage of entire time-evolved trajectories. Experimental results demonstrate how storage reductions of several orders of magnitude relate to physics accuracy.

Einstein Fields: A Neural Perspective To Computational General Relativity

We introduce Einstein Fields, a neural representation designed to compress computationally intensive four-dimensional numerical relativity simulations into compact implicit neural network weights. By modeling the metric, the core tensor field of general relativity, Einstein Fields enable the derivation of physical quantities via automatic differentiation. Unlike conventional neural fields (e.g., signed distance, occupancy, or radiance fields), Einstein Fields fall into the class of Neural Tensor Fields with the key difference that, when encoding the spacetime geometry into neural field representations, dynamics emerge naturally as a byproduct. Our novel implicit approach demonstrates remarkable potential, including continuum modeling of four-dimensional spacetime, mesh-agnosticity, storage efficiency, derivative accuracy, and ease of use. It achieves up to a $4,000$-fold reduction in storage memory compared to discrete representations while retaining a numerical accuracy of five to seven decimal places. Moreover, in single precision, differentiation of the Einstein Fields-parameterized metric tensor is up to five orders of magnitude more accurate compared to naive finite differencing methods. We demonstrate these properties on several canonical test beds of general relativity and numerical relativity simulation data, while also releasing an open-source JAX-based library: \href{https://github.com/AndreiB137/EinFields}{https://github.com/AndreiB137/EinFields}, taking the first steps to studying the potential of machine learning in numerical relativity.
