For those who followed yesterday's press announcement by NSF about the
final discovery of gravitational waves 100 years after Einstein's prediction:
The opening image for the press conference is based on an HDF5 dataset
produced in 1999, used by the LIGO consortium in many places.
The actual physical setup that produced those now detected gravitational waves
was recently simulated, resulting in visualizations finished last week that are
now spreading around everywhere:
Same as 1999, these new data are based on HDF5. These new ones were
as large as 450GB , consisting out of 937 time steps with 4096 datasets each
in various subgroups.
All these simulations and visualizations thereof have benefited greatly from HDF5,
so just to give some credits here to the HDF group!

As you can guess, we are very excited here about our small contribution to this mind blowing discovery!
Thanks a lot for the links; visualization is amazing! I would also like to thank you for support you provided to our group during all those years.
All,
The first release of HDF5 was in November 1998. Only visionaries could see the HDF5 potential at that time and believe that it would work many years after, and have so much patience with us
Elena
P.S. No patch is left behind. Once again - Thank you for your patience!

Thanks for the link. I watched the whole press announcement. It is fantastic to see the discovery opens a new window into the universe. It is also beautiful that HDF5 is used successfully for the LIGO data.
