This is the third pre-release of the ADaptable Input Output System, ADIOS, version 2 (v2.1.1). This is a beta release with staging support and 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 previous v2.1.0 Beta release include:
- SST Engine for staging data memory-to-memory across applications
- Updated Fortran, C and Python bindings APIs
- Several bugs corrected for default write and read BPFile engine
- Added option for flexible number of substreams (subfiles) based on MPI aggregation for NxM writes (N=mpi processes, M = user defined number of files)
- Added High-Level APIs to each supported language. These APIs are based on the language native IO (C++: adios2::fstream, C: adios2_FILE*, Fortran: file handler, Python: io stream object)
- User Guide documentation moved to readthedocs: http://adios2-adaptable-io-system-version-2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
