Input {\&} Output Standardization Efforts

ORAL

Abstract

Open frameworks and tools in plasma physics provide potential for complex, cross-domain modeling and analysis activities. Connecting those, standardization efforts aid compatibility and improve usability. We present openPMD (open standard for particle-mesh data files) and PICMI (particle-in-cell modeling interface) as two projects focusing on data and software input compatibility.

*This project has received funding from the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654220. Supported by the Consortium for Advanced Modeling of Particles Accelerators (CAMPA), funded by the U.S. DOE Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. Supported by the Exascale Computing Project (17-SC-20-SC), a collaborative effort of two U.S. Department of Energy organizations (Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration). Work performed under the auspices for LLNL, contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344. This work was partially funded by the Center of Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) which is financed by Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and by the Saxon Ministry for Science, Culture and Tourism (SMWK) with tax funds on the basis of the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament.
