Open Standard for Particle-Mesh Data (openPMD)
The openPMD standard provides naming and attribute conventions that allow
the exchange of particle and mesh based data from scientific simulations and
experiments. The primary goal is to define a minimal set/kernel of meta
information that enables the sharing and exchange of data to achieve.
- portability between various applications and differing algorithms;
- a unified open-access description for scientific data (publishing and archiving);
- a unified description for post-processing, visualization and analysis.
The standard suits any kind of hierarchical, self-describing data format,
such as, but not limited to ADIOS1 (BP3), ADIOS2 (BP4), HDF5, JSON, and XML.
