Embedded HDF
Increasingly, HDF5 is being used for instrument data. Sometimes such data is collected on embedded systems, using special operating systems such as VxWorks. Because HDF5 doesn't currently run on such systems, these applications must first collect their data in a raw form on the embedded device, the offload the data to a general purpose computing system and store it in HDF5. This approach bears the extra cost of moving the data to HDF5, and also loses the benefits of HDF5 when dealing with the data while it is still on the embedded system. In this project, HDF5 would be ported to an embedded operating system such as VxWorks.
