Description: Development files for SILO Scientific I/O library from LLNL
 Silo is a library for reading and writing a wide variety of scientific
 data to binary, disk files. The files Silo produces and the data within
 them can be easily shared and exchanged between wholly independently
 developed applications running on disparate computing platforms.
 Consequently, Silo facilitates the development of general purpose tools
 for processing scientific data. One of the more popular tools that
 process Silo data files is the VisIt visualization tool.
 .
 Silo supports gridless (point) meshes, structured meshes, unstructured-
 zoo and unstructured-arbitrary-polyhedral meshes, block structured AMR
 meshes, constructive solid geometry (CSG) meshes, piecewise-constant
 (e.g. zone-centered) and piecewise-linear (e.g. node-centered) variables
 defined on the node, edge, face or volume elements of meshes as well as
 the decomposition of meshes into arbitrary subset hierarchies including
 materials and mixing materials. In addition, Silo supports a wide
 variety of other useful objects to address various scientific computing
 application needs. Although the Silo library is a serial library, it has
 some key features which enable it to be applied quite effectively and
 scalable in parallel.
 Architecturally, the library is divided into two main pieces; an upper-
   level application programming interface (API) and a lower-level I/O
   implementation called a driver. Silo supports multiple I/O drivers,
   the two most common of which are the HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5)
   and PDB (Portable Data Base) drivers.
