HydroLang and HydroCompute Demonstration

This application demonstrates two projects developed by the University of Iowa Hydroinformatics Lab (UIHI Lab): HydroLang and HydroCompute. HydroLang is an open-source web framework designed for hydrology and water resources research. It offers JavaScript functions for various tasks, including retrieving and manipulating hydrologic data, performing statistical operations, generating graphical data representations, and mapping geospatial data. HydroCompute, on the other hand, is an open-source computational library geared towards hydrology and environmental sciences. It operates natively in web browsers and utilizes state-of-the-art computation standards to enable web applications to tap into the computational capabilities of the devices they run on. This includes leveraging multithreading with web workers, processing with GPUs, and running executables built in WebAssembly (WASM). This application serves as the solution for HydroCompute Case Study 3: Dashboard for Station Statistical Analysis tutorial. This tutorial was developed by the University of Iowa Hydroinformatics Lab for the 2023 CIROH Developer Conference.

本应用展示了由爱荷华大学水信息学实验室（UIHI实验室）开发的两个项目：HydroLang和HydroCompute。HydroLang是一款开源的面向水文和水资源研究领域的Web框架。它提供了一系列JavaScript函数，涵盖了诸如检索和操作水文数据、执行统计分析、生成图形数据表示以及地理空间数据映射等任务。另一方面，HydroCompute是一款针对水文和环境科学领域的开源计算库。它能够在浏览器中原生运行，并利用最先进的计算标准，使得Web应用能够充分利用其运行设备的计算能力。这包括利用Web Workers进行多线程处理、利用GPU进行计算，以及运行以WebAssembly（WASM）构建的可执行文件。本应用旨在解决HydroCompute案例研究3：站统计数据面板教程的需求。该教程由爱荷华大学水信息学实验室为2023年CIROH开发者大会开发。
