Collecting and storing data from test systems and platforms has historically been reduced to unique in-house implementations. Man-months to man-years have been expended to create and develop these site and system specific storage file formats.
NCSA's HDF5 data management system has the functionality and performance needed to capture, store and retrieve flight test data -- it is comprehensive, scalable, flexible, and fast. Using HDF5 as the initial container for test data and replacing all the subsequent intermediate formats will yield cost savings for both non-recurring and recurring items associated with test data collection and processing. Ultimately, this work can lead to standardized formats, software, and tools benefiting a wide range of test systems in many industries.
The focus in the first year of this project will be on variable length array storage of test data in HDF5.
