Anthony Scopatz, Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina, HDF guest blogger “Python is great and its ecosystem for scientific computing is world class. HDF5 is amazing and is rightly the gold standard for persistence for scientific data. Many people use HDF5 from Python, and this number is only growing due to pandas’ HDFStore.
Lindsay Powers, The HDF Group The 2015 HDF workshop held during the ESIP Summer Meeting was a great success thanks to more than 40 participants throughout the four sessions. The workshop was an excellent opportunity for us to interact with HDF community members to better understand their needs and introduce them to new technologies. You
Quincey Koziol, The HDF Group “A supercomputer is a device for turning compute-bound problems into I/O-bound problems.” – Ken Batcher, Prof. Emeritus, Kent State University. HDF5 began out of a collaboration between the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Simulation and Computing Program (ASC), so high-performance computing (HPC)
