ADIOS v2.1.0 Beta Release

This is the second pre-release of the ADaptable Input Output System, ADIOS, version 2 (v2.1.0). This is a beta release with a stable API intended for users and developers to begin integration and testing of ADIOS 2 into their applications, libraries, and workflows. This version is not intended for production quality purposes.

Major additions from the v2.0.0 Alpha release include:

  • Re-designed Read and Write APIs for uniformity between the two
  • Native read and write support for the ADIOS BP format
  • Read and write support for parallel and serial HDF5
  • Full support for C, Fortran, and Python APIs in addition to the native C++ interface.
  • Initial staging implementations with SST for HPC environments and DataMan for Wide Area Networks.
