Telecon: 2025 10 28

Updates:

• Brad: Request to add for compile time macros for conduit version
• Arlie: Completed AMR Adj Set Example, from this we can have tests in conduit to exercises Noah's AMR to Poly transforms
• Justin: More Conduit Silo Hardening.
• Justin: DSTI (Internship) Proposal: Conduit device support and porting mesh blueprint transforms.
• Brad: We need to document how strided structured works vs matset values
• Brad: Interested in converting Polyhedrals that are actually hexs to a simpler unstructured grid for use in MFEM

Future:

• Learn how to talk to S3 object stores as an end point for Conduit Nodes. - Strategy for Object Storage (S3) (libcurl example https://github.com/cedricve/AWS-S3-Cpp-REST-API)
• nanoarrow may open up new interop use cases (columnar i/o)
  • SciPy2024 talk on nanoarrow that provides good context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIk6bvXgNug
• Explore ZFP (or even ZLIB) Compression in HDF5 for ML Ensemble Data (Floating Point Images / Regular Grids)
• Stricter set semantics? https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/issues/941
• Blueprint Helpers: Top level Mesh BP Transforms Interface: ( https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/issues/932) Modify names of mesh bp entries (rename a topology, rename a field) (https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/issues/940).
• Blueprint to GLTF / ANARI.
• Blueprint to VTK (and mind the saga related to legacy vtk files)
• El Cap Rabbits
