Hybrid simulations can take many forms, often connecting a diverse range of hardware and software components with heterogeneous data sets. The scale of examples is also diverse with both the highperformance computing community using high-performance data analytics (HPDA) to the synthesis of software libraries or packages on a single machine. Hybrid simulation configuration and output analysis is often akin to analytics with a range of dashboards, machine learning, data aggregations and graphical representation. Underpinning the visual elements are hardware, software and data architectures that execute hybrid simulation code. These are wide ranging with few generalized blueprints, methods or patterns of development. This panel will discuss a range of hybrid simulation development approaches and endeavor to uncover possible strategies for supporting the development and coupling of hybrid simulations.
1JONATHAN OZIK is a Computational Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and Senior Scientist in the Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering at the University of Chicago. He develops applications of large-scale agent-based models, including models of infectious diseases, healthcare interventions, biological systems, water use and management, critical materials Bell, Groen, Mustafee, Ozik, and Strassburger supply chains, and critical infrastructure. He also applies large-scale model exploration across modeling methods, including ABM, microsimulation and machine/deep learning. Dr. Ozik leads the Repast project (repast.github.io) for agent-based modeling toolkits and the Extreme-scale Model Exploration with Swift (EMEWS) framework for large-scale model exploration capabilities on high performance computing resources (emews.org
