ILDG Implementation Status Carleton DeTar University of Utah ILDG-5
SciDAC File Format Supports metadata and binary data Supports lattice fields and “global” data Tries to anticipate ILDG needs Open software QIO/LIME In production use by LHPC
LIME Packaging MIME >> DIME >> LIME Very simple. Allows 2^64 bytes File consists of messages Message consists of records Record consists of a header and data Header includes a content type label
SciDAC Gauge Configuration File Private file header User file XML (not standardized, yet) Private record header User record XML (not standardized) Binary data in NERSC 3x3 format SciDAC Checksum
ILDG Compatibility Propose LIME packaging Could add ILDG format metadata Could add QCDML Could add BinX record Can do propagators or other fields
