If you hear about openPMD* for the first time you can find a quick online tutorial on it here.
As a user of PIConGPU, you will be mainly interested in our python tools and readers, that can read openPMD, e.g. into:
read & write data: openPMD-api (manual)
visualization and analysis, including an exploratory Jupyter notebook GUI: openPMD-viewer (tutorial)
converter tools: openPMD-converter
full list of projects using openPMD
If you intend to write your own post-processing routines, make sure to check out our example files, the formal, open standard on openPMD and a list of projects that already support openPMD.
