Library:
--------
+ - HDF5 supports collective MPI-IO for irregular selection with HDF5
+ dataset. Irregular selection is when users use 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.
+ DEC 5.x is not supporting complicated derived datatype.
+ For AIX 5.1,
+ if your poe version number is 3.2.0.22 or higher,
+ please edit powerpc-ibm-aix5.x under hdf5/config,
+ Find the line with
+ << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>>
+ and comment out this line before the configure.
+ check poe version with the following command:
+ lpp -l all | grep ppe.poe
+ with IRIX 6.5,
+ if your C compiler version is 7.4 or higher,
+ please edit irix6.x under hdf5/config,
+ Find the line with
+ << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>>
+ and comment out this line before the configure.
+ check cc version with the following command:
+ cc -version

+ - HDF5 N-bit filter
+ HDF5 support N-bit filter from this version,
+ The N-Bit filter is used effectively for compressing data of N-Bit
+ datatype as well as compound and array datatype with N-Bit fields.
+ KY - 2005/04/15
+ - HDF5 scaleoffset filter
+ HDF5 supports scaleoffset filter for users to do data
+ compression through HDF5 library.
+ Scale-Offset compression performs a scale and/or offset operation
+ on each data value and truncates the resulting value to a minimum
+ number of bits and then stores the data.
+ Currently only integer datatype
+ is supported. Please check the HDF5 reference manual for this.
