Parallel Library:

- - HDF5 supports collective MPI-IO for irregular selection with HDF5
- dataset. Irregular selection is when users use API H5Sselect_hyperslab
- more than once for the same dataset.
- Currently, not all MPI-IO packages support complicated MPI derived
- datatype used in the implementation of irregular
- selection INSIDE HDF5.
- 1) DEC 5.x is not supporting complicated derived datatype.
- 2) For AIX 5.1,
- if your poe version number is 3.2.0.19 or lower,
- please edit powerpc-ibm-aix5.x under hdf5/config,
- Find the line with
- << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>>
- and UNCOMMENT this line before the configure.
- check poe version with the following command:
- lpp -l all | grep ppe.poe
- 3) For Linux cluster,
- if mpich version is 1.2.5 or lower, collective irregular selection
- IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used.
- 4) For IRIX 6.5,
- if C compiler version is 7.3 or lower, collective irregular selection
- IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used.
- 5) For platforms which internally used mpich, if the
- mpich version is 1.2.5 or lower, please find the
- corresponding config file and add
- hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works='no' at the
- end of the configuration file. For example, at NCSA
- SGI Altix, the internal mpich library is 1.2.5. So
- hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works='no' should be
- added at the end of the config file ia64-linux-gnu.
