Fides User Guide
================

Fides enables complex scientific workflows to seamlessly integrate simulation and visualization.
This is done by providing a data model in JSON that describes the mesh and fields in the data to be read.
Using this data model, Fides maps `ADIOS2 <https://github.com/ornladios/ADIOS2>`_ data arrays (from files or streams) to `VTK-m <https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m>`_ datasets, enabling visualization of the data using shared- and distributed-memory parallel algorithms.
