Updates:

• Had adjset vs numeric of gen corners meeting, brad working on 3D distance make sort robust
• Brad is working on Bump = Blueprint Utilities for Mesh Processing in Axom.
  • Refactors some of the MIR work for mesh processing to be more general.
• Justin worked on Silo support.
• Wish list:
  • Becky H asked about how to read lists from the RelayIOHandle -- we need ability to query number of children at a path and fetch with index at a path.
  • It would be nice for the matset api to create or reuse an existing material_map to provide a simple interface to basic material metadata (the material names and ids)
  • It would be nice to have a util to reorder material ids from 0 - (N-1) to make life easier.

Future:

• Workflows that are using in-transit with near-node storage
• Learn how to talk to S3 object stores as an end point for Conduit Nodes. - Strategy for Object Storage (S3) (libcurl example https://github.com/cedricve/AWS-S3-Cpp-REST-API)
• Explore ZFP (or even ZLIB) Compression in HDF5 for ML Ensemble Data (Floating Point Images / Regular Grids)
• Stricter set semantics? https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/issues/941
• Blueprint Helpers:
  • Top level Mesh BP Transforms Interface: ( https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/issues/932)
  • Modify names of mesh bp entries (rename a topology, rename a field) (https://github.com/LLNL/conduit/issues/940).
• Blueprint to GLTF / ANARI.
• Blueprint to VTK (and mind the saga related to legacy legacy vtk files)
