Axom
Axom is an open-source software library developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for high-performance computing. It provides a collection of data management and analysis tools designed to support the workflows of scientific computing, including simulation data pipelines, mesh handling, and in situ analysis. The project aims to help researchers organize and process large-scale data produced by computational simulations.
Core goals of Axom include performance portability across architectures, modularity, and interoperability with existing HPC ecosystems.
The design of Axom emphasizes clean interfaces, test coverage, and ease of integration with other software
Axom originated within LLNL as part of the institute’s effort to provide reusable software building blocks
Access to the project is through public repositories and documentation that describe installation, usage, and contributed
