We present scalable, in-situ visualization of large-scale plasma simulations that allows for remote live visualization. We discuss the GPU rendering implementation, its interface to the simulation, scalable image composition on large clusters and the use of low-power visualisation clients attached to a server located at the HPC system. Such a setup challenges current HPC visualization paradigms and will potentially allow for explorative simulation surveys of large parameter spaces with strongly reduced storage footprint.
