Modern computational science and engineering applications are being improved by the advances in scientific machine learning. Data-driven methods such as Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) can extract coherent structures from spatio-temporal data generated from dynamical systems and infer different scenarios for said systems. The spatio-temporal data comes as snapshots containing spatial information for each time instant. In modern engineering applications, the generation of high-dimensional snapshots can be time and/or resource-demanding. In the present study, we consider two strategies for enhancing DMD workflow in large numerical simulations: (i) snapshots compression to relieve disk pressure; (ii) the use of in situ visualization images to reconstruct the dynamics (or part of) in runtime. We evaluate our approaches with two 3D fluid dynamics simulations and consider DMD to reconstruct the solutions. Results reveal that snapshot compression considerably reduces the required disk space. We have observed that lossy compression reduces storage by almost $50\%$ with low relative errors in the signal reconstructions and other quantities of interest. We also extend our analysis to data generated on-the-fly, using in-situ visualization tools to generate image files of our state vectors during runtime. On large simulations, the generation of snapshots may be slow enough to use batch algorithms for inference. Streaming DMD takes advantage of the incremental SVD algorithm and updates the modes with the arrival of each new snapshot. We use streaming DMD to reconstruct the dynamics from in-situ generated images. We show that this process is efficient, and the reconstructed dynamics are accurate.
