Popis: We describe the first major public data release from cosmological simulations carried out with Argonne's HACC code. This initial release covers a range of datasets from large gravity-only simulations. The data products include halo information for multiple redshifts, down-sampled particles, and lightcone outputs. We provide data from two very large LCDM simulations as well as beyond-LCDM simulations spanning eleven w0-wa cosmologies. Our release platform uses Petrel, a research data service, located at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. Petrel offers fast data transfer mechanisms and authentication via Globus, enabling simple and efficient access to stored datasets. Easy browsing of the available data products is provided via a web portal that allows the user to navigate simulation products efficiently. The data hub will be extended by adding more types of data products and by enabling computational capabilities to allow direct interactions with simulation results.
Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures. Final version published in ApJS. The HACC Simulation Data Portal can be accessed here: https://cosmology.alcf.anl.gov/
