The HDF Community

The HDF Group’s Gerd Heber hosts a weekly session where he tries to answer attendee questions and, for example, go over the previous week’s HDF Forum posts. The HDF Clinics are free sessions intended to help users tackle real-world HDF problems from a common cold to severe headaches and offer relief where that’s possible. As time permits, we will include how-tos, offer advice on tool usage, review your code samples, teach you survival in the documentation jungle, and discuss what’s new or just around the corner in the land of HDF. Please submit questions/topics in this google doc. One-time registration required. Thanks to all who attended our first HDF Clinic on February 9, 2021. The resources from this clinic are archived here. Gerd's Notes https://youtu.be/g5h_YlvI9Aw  ...

The HDF Group’s technical mission is to provide rapid, easy and permanent access to complex data. FishEye's vision is "Synthesizing the world’s real-time data". This white paper is intended for embedded system users, software engineers, integrators, and testers that use or want to use HDF5 to access, collect, use and analyze machine data. FishEye has developed an innovative process that provides the most efficient method to expose data from embedded systems that simplifies and liberates data for real-time analysis, machine learning, and cloud-enabled services....

Thank you to our co-participants at OpenIO for allowing us to work with you to create this webinar on object storage. If you're interested in the webinar recording or slide deck, you can access them here: https://www.openio.io/blog/webinar-switch-to-object-storage....

Many organizations have petabytes of HDF5 data stored on premise NAS systems, and while object storage systems are generally more cost effective than NAS, applications written on POSIX storage won’t “just work” with object storage. The HDF Group has taken the pain and expense out of this problem by developing open source libraries and services to enable HDF5 applications to transparently use object storage (on prem or in the cloud)—no modifications needed. Join us in this webinar to learn more....

John Readey, senior architect at The HDF Group recently worked with OpenIO to integrate the Highly Scalable Data Service (HSDS) with OpenIO’s storage. (You can read more about this integration here.) John will be presenting, along with Guillaume Delaporte, Co-founder and VP Pre-Sales at OpenIO, to discuss the technical and business implications of moving to object storage....

Dear HDF Community, Nothing is more important than the need to protect the health and safety of those most vulnerable to COVID-19. The HDF Group is taking steps to minimize health risks to our teammates and their families, our clients, and our communities by closing our Champaign office and asking all employees to work remotely. As always, The HDF Group remains available for our user community. You can continue to reach the help desk at https://help.hdfgroup.org (registration required) or by email at help@hdfgroup.org. The community forum (https://forum.hdfgroup.org) is also an excellent source of assistance from both The HDF Group employees and the community. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us through the above means. We...

On February 6, 2020, the members of the ECP ExaIO project, Elena Pourmal and Scot Breitenfeld (The HDF Group), Quincey Koziol (NERSC), and Suren Byna (LBNL), presented HDF5 Tutorial at the ECP Annual Meeting. We've posted the slide deck and Q&A for your convenience....
