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. […]
The HDF Group (HDF®), the maintainers and creators of the open source HDF5 library and file format, has joined the COVID-19 High Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium as an affiliate to provide expertise that can enhance and accelerate COVID-19 research.
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
The HDF Group’s formal comment to a DOE request on stewardship for scientific and high-performance computing was published in the Federal Register. We had a joint position paper at January’s ASCR Workshop on Visualization for Scientific Discovery, Decision-Making, & Communication. The paper is called Whither Visualization Logic and was written by Leigh Orf (University of Wisconsin), Lucas Villa Real
Champaign, IL – The HDF Group announced its Board of Directors has appointed Gerd Heber as its new Executive Director. The HDF Group is a software company dedicated to creating and supporting technologies to address many of today’s big data challenges.
Dr. Heber, who has been The HDF Group’s Applications Architect since 2010, replaces Mike Folk upon his retirement. Folk will remain a member of the Board of Directors.
The purpose of this introduction is to highlight and celebrate a community contribution the impact of which we are just beginning to understand. Its principal author, Mr. Lucas C. Villa Real, calls it HDF5-UDF and describes it as “a mechanism to generate HDF5 dataset values on-the-fly using user-defined functions (UDFs).” This matter- of-fact characterization is quite accurate, but I would like to provide some context for what this means for us users of HDF5.
As part of our work with the Exascale Computing Project (ECP), Scot Breitenfeld, Hyo-Kyung Lee, and Larry Knox prepared this status report on the HDF5 VOL. This report provides an overview of the HDF5 VOL connectors created for the ECP.
This presentation was given at the 2022 Exascale Computing Project Annual meeting, as part of the tutorial “Using HDF5 Efficiently on HPC Systems.”
The HDF Group and friends will be hosting a BOF at Supercomputing 2022 (SC22) on Wednesday, 16 November 2022 in the 12:15 pm – 1:15 pm CST session.
If you are looking to store HDF5 data in the cloud there are several different technologies that can be used and choosing between them can be somewhat confusing. In this post, I thought it would be helpful to cover some of the options with the hope of helping HDF users make the best decision for their deployment. Each project will have its own requirements and special considerations, so please take this as just a starting point.
