Capturing Provenance for Runtime Data Analysis in Computational Science and Engineering Applications

Capturing provenance data for runtime analysis has several challenges in high performance computational science engineering applications. The main issues are avoiding significant overhead in data capture, loading and runtime query support; and coupling provenance capture mechanisms with applications built with highly efficient numerical libraries, and visualization frameworks targeted to high performance environments. This work presents DfA-prov, an approach to capture provenance data and domain data aiming at high performance applications.
