The HDF5 library can be configured to use MPI and MPI-IO for parallelism on a distributed multi-processor system. The easiest way to do this is to have a properly installed parallel compiler (e.g., MPICH's mpicc or IBM's -mpcc) and supply that executable as the value of the CC environment -variable: +mpcc_r) and supply that executable as the value of the CC environment +variable.
