This week, I'm at @DESY for the #HDF User Group #HUG summit on plugins and data compression.
We will start with latest updates on plugins:
“HDF5 and plugins – overview and roadmap“, Dana Robinson.
Then, Elena Pourmal will hopefully have good news: “Expanding HDF5 capabilities to support multi-threading access and new types of storage“.
Currently, reading big datasets can be quite a burden due to some … challenges of #HDF5 with multi-threading.
“The technical problems are not the hardest problem; the social problems are, the policy, the governance, the funding.”
