Hi Matthieu,
The short answer is that for some codes, yes, yt works as an embedding
system. The only code that this has been used extensively in is Enzo,
and it will likely take a bit of work to get it to work. We're eager
to test it out on other codes, however; the first and easiest
application would be a non-Enzo, patch-based AMR code.
The current state is:
* In-memory between Enzo and yt works (Britton Smith can speak more to this)
* Creation of arbitrary sources (using the Stream frontend) currently
works, which can be used from within any Python code
* No protocol exists (yet) for MPI inter-communicator data loading
Our strategies for the future:
* We're working to create simple C libraries that can create the
necessary in-memory data objects to link against yt directly
* The Stream frontend is usable and should be used by non-Enzo codes
as a prototyping mechanism
* ParaView can call yt for serial calculations, and we are working to
utilize its CoProcessing facilities to analyze and visualize in
parallel from running simulations
So I think you should be able to add a code to in situ viz/analysis,
but it will likely take a bit of work at the current time to make sure
everything correctly passes. I'd be able to help you and send you
demo code if you would like. Alternately, we intend to instrument yt
to use ParaView as a data loader, which will enable the CoProcessing
techniques from ParaView to be used as well.
Let me know what you think,
Matt
