Description
Summary:The Joint Laboratory on Extreme-Scale Computing (JLESC) was initiated at the same time lossy compression for scientific data became an important topic for the scientific communities. The teams involved in the JLESC played and are still playing an important role in developing the research, techniques, methods, and technologies making lossy compression for scientific data a key tool for scientists and engineers. In this paper, we present the evolution of lossy compression for scientific data from 2015, describing the situation before the JLESC started, the evolution of this discipline in the past 8 years (until 2023) through the prism of the JLESC collaborations on this topic and some of the remaining open research questions.
