Abstract

QnD is a pure Python package for working with binary files. It has built-in support for HDF5, NetCDF3, and PDB formats. It provides a Pythonic, dict-like interface, and allows easy movement among time-like "records". Both reading and writing are enabled. The HDF and NetCDF capabilities rely on external libraries, while the PDB support is part of QnD itself and entirely in Python. QnD works under Python 2 and 3. For interactive use, much less typing is involved than for some other packages.

H5Part

Software Shalf, John M. ; Adelmann, Andreas ; Siegerist, Cristina

Particle based simulations of accelerator beam-lines, especially in six dimensional phase space, generate vast amounts of data. Even though a subset of statistical information regarding phase space or analysis needs to be preserved, reading and writing such enormous restart files on massively parallel supercomputing systems remains challenging. H5Part is a very simple data storage schema and provides an API that simplifies the reading/writing of the data to the HDF5 file format. An important foundation for a stable visualization and data analysis environment is a stable and portable file storage format and its associated APIs. The presence of a "common filemore »« less
Trios

Software Oldfield, Ron A.

The Trilinos I/O support (Trios) software provides general I/O support for applications using Trilinos libraries. In particular, this software will include parallel I/O support to read and write selected Trilinos data structures to commonly-used file formats such as netCDF, hdf5, and Exodus.

...And Eat it Too: High Read Performance in Write-Optimized HPC I/O Middleware File Formats

Conference Klasky, Scott A ; Lofstead, J. ; Bent, John ; ...

As HPC applications run on increasingly high process counts on larger and larger machines, both the frequency of checkpoints needed for fault tolerance and the resolution and size of Data Analysis Dumps are expected to increase proportionally. In order to maintain an acceptable ratio of time spent performing useful computation work to time spent performing I/O, write bandwidth to the underlying storage system must increase proportionally to this increase in the checkpoint and computation size. Unfortunately, popular scientific self-describing file formats such as netCDF and HDF5 are designed with a focus on portability and flexibility. Extra care and careful craftingmore »« less
Simulation INsight and Analysis

Software Pauli, Esteban T ; Aschwanden, Pascal D ; Laney, Daiel E ; ...

Sina is a tool set for modern scientific data management that provides flexible, light-weight support of non-bulk data capture for retention in and queries against SQL and noSQL data stores. HPC simulations traditionally maintain their data in files. Extracting data of interest for subsequent analysis then requires the time-consuming process of traversing directories and scraping data from files in a variety of formats. Sina facilitates capturing relevant data during execution or post-processing of simulation runs for retention in and queries from a modern data store. The tools are sufficiently general to allow for the inclusion of new fields as scientistsmore »« less

toughio v1.2.2

Software Luu, Keurfon ; USDOE

TOUGH is a widely used general purpose numerical simulator designed for fluid and heat flows of multiphase, multicomponent fluid mixtures in porous and fractured media, which has been applied to many real-world problems such as underground geological storage, geothermal reservoir engineering or nuclear waste disposal, to name a few. `toughio` is a lightweight, object-oriented and vectorized Python library that aims to provide user-friendly routines to facilitate pre- and post-processing of a TOUGH simulation. Although its primary target is the latest version TOUGH3, `toughio` can also be used to read/write TOUGH2 input/output files. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, onlymore »« less
