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 that is designed to compress computationally intensive four-dimensional numerical relativity simulations into compact implicit neural network weights. By modeling the \emph{metric}, which is the core tensor field of general relativity, Einstein Fields enable the derivation of physical quantities via automatic differentiation. However, unlike conventional neural fields (e.g., signed distance, occupancy, or radiance fields), Einstein Fields are \emph{Neural Tensor Fields} with the key difference that when encoding the spacetime geometry of general relativity into neural field representations, dynamics emerge naturally as a byproduct. Einstein Fields show remarkable potential, including continuum modeling of 4D spacetime, mesh-agnosticity, storage efficiency, derivative accuracy, and ease of use. We address these challenges across several canonical test beds of general relativity and release an open source JAX-based library, paving the way for more scalable and expressive approaches to numerical relativity.
