EMPRESS – Metadata management for scientific simulations

With the growth of simulation data, finding relevant data within the sea of raw data can be a much more daunting task than running the simulation at scale in the first place. EMPRESS provides a separate metadata system allowing storing detailed run information as well as user-defined at runtime different data characteristics and associate those characteristics with a variable, a timestep, or run.

It has been published at PDSW-DISCS @ SC17 and SC18 and is available as open source on github.com
