Development files for SILO Scientific I/O library from LLNL
Silo is a library for reading and writing a wide variety of scientific data to
binary, disk files. The files Silo produces and the data within them can be
easily shared and exchanged between wholly independently developed applications
running on disparate computing platforms. Consequently, Silo facilitates the
development of general purpose tools for processing scientific data.
One of the more popular tools that process Silo data files is the
VisIt visualization tool.
.
Silo supports gridless (point) meshes, structured meshes, unstructured-zoo
and unstructured-arbitrary-polyhedral meshes, block structured AMR meshes,
constructive solid geometry (CSG) meshes, piecewise-constant
(e.g. zone-centered) and piecewise-linear (e.g. node-centered) variables
defined on the node, edge, face or volume elements of meshes as well as
the decomposition of meshes into arbitrary subset hierarchies including
materials and mixing materials. In addition, Silo supports a wide variety of
other useful objects to address various scientific computing application
needs. Although the Silo library is a serial library, it has some key features
which enable it to be applied quite effectively and scalable in parallel.
.
Architecturally, the library is divided into two main pieces; an upper-level
application programming interface (API) and a lower-level I/O implementation
called a driver. Silo supports multiple I/O drivers, the two most common of
which are the HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) and PDB (Portable Data Base)
drivers.
