Writing Data
Any usable simulation code must write out the results of the simulation. This is usually done by storing data in files. There are a number of different file formats which are useful for different types of applications. One of the most used format is the HDF5 file format which supports parallel writing of data into a single file. Schnek provides a framework to write out simulation data in HDF5 format but also allows output in simple text format. The classes are designed so that they can be extended for other file formats if desired.
