We dis­cuss elec­tro­mag­netic sim­u­la­tions of ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­tures in a high per­for­mance com­put­ing (HPC) sys­tem. Our over­ar­ch­ing goal is to re­solve the linac op­er­a­tion in a large en­sem­ble of ini­tial beam con­di­tions. This re­quires a sym­bi­otic re­la­tion be­tween the elec­tro­mag­netic solver and HPC. The linac is being de­vel­oped by Ion Linac Sys­tems to pro­duce a low-en­ergy, high-cur­rent, pro­ton beam. We use VSim, an elec­tro­mag­netic solver and PIC soft­ware de­vel­oped by Tech-X to de­ter­mine the elec­tro­mag­netic fun­da­men­tal mode of op­er­a­tion of the ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­tures and dis­cuss its im­ple­men­ta­tion at the THETA su­per­com­puter in the Ar­gonne Lead­er­ship Com­put­ing Fa­cil­ity.
