I derived a closed form codec-agnostic layer for scientific compression.
What are this project's goals?
How will you achieve them? Projects goals have been largely met, its open source and can be used immediately. In one case on NYX cosmology simulations, it allows lossy compression at 1000x and reduces error from 3 parts in a thousand to 2 parts in a trillion. https://github.com/alikamp/conserved-field-compression
How will you know it worked?
Anyone can try it now. Its already been implemented into SLEEK for GPU optimization.
How will this funding be used?
Like the title says a hurricane hit the island I am from (Lowell impacted Kauai) and my roommate decided to just up and leave so the funding will be used for travel, lodging, registration and presentation at IWBDC-6 taking place at the IEEE Big Data conference in Phoenix in December.
Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?
The paper was subsequently co-authored by a leading researcher.
What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?
If I dont attend crucial networking loss.
How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?
