|
* [svn-r5958] Elena Pourmal2002-10-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Added missing fortran functions h5set(get)_buffer_f. Also added docs and tests for them. Solution: Currently functions do not accept conversion and background buffers. This corresponds to H5set(get)_buffer call with buffer pointers set to NULL. If there is a demand, I can overload the functions to have new parameters and go through all trouble creating functions for all supported datatypes. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7, Linux 2.2., IRIX64-6.5

* [svn-r5946] Elena Pourmal2002-09-241-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Added missing fortran functions. Description: Four Library Fortran API functions have been added: h5get_libversion_f, h5_check_version_f, h5garbage_collect_f and h5dont_atexit_f. Only first two functions were tested. Documentation file and RELEASE.txt were updated. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7, IRIX64-6.5 and Linux 2.2

* [svn-r5859] ./hdf5-devel/release_docs/RELEASE.txtRobb Matzke2002-08-091-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Merged from 1.4 branch Description: API tracing improvements Platforms tested: Linux (--disable-hsizet didn't work before my changes and still doesn't work, but --enable-hsizet is fine). Note: This checkin includes temporary code in H5FDmpiposix.c to turn off GPFS byte range token prefetches on ASCI/Blue. Once the HDF5 API supports the necessary prerequisite functionality this temporary code can be migraged up above HDF5.

* [svn-r5838] MuQun Yang2002-07-251-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: update windows support. Description: 1. Since we don't support w98 anymore, delete the description about w98. Actually DLL may work on w98. 2. Release dll work for new HDF5 release. Solution: Platforms tested:
* [svn-r5814] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-07-191-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: It was possible to create corrupted metadata information (either in memory or in the file or both) with a parallel I/O program because of the way metadata writes were being handled for writes out of the metadata cache. Solution: Added a dataset transfer property called "block before metadata write" which is used by the MPI-I/O and MPI-posix drivers to sync up all the processes before attempting a metadata write. This property is currently only for metadata writes from the metadata cache. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
* [svn-r5802] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-07-151-0/+10
| | | | | | | | Update docs Description: Note --with-dmalloc addition to configure flags and new MPI-posix VFL driver.

* [svn-r5690] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: When parallel I/O is used, the MPI-I/O VFL driver uses a "lazy" model to call MPI_File_set_view() in order to reduce the number of calls to this function. However, this is unsafe, because if a collective I/O which uses MPI derived types (and thus uses MPI_File_set_view()) is immediately followed by an independent I/O, the code will attempt to call MPI_File_set_view() in order to switch back to the default view of the file. MPI_File_set_view() is a collective call however, and this causes the application to hang. Solution: Removed "lazy" MPI_File_set_view() code, instead set the file view when it is needed (with MPI derived types) and immediately set the file view back to the default view before leaving the I/O routine. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel. Also, tested with the latest development and release code for the SAF library, which now works correctly with this change. (Although the release branch of the SAF library seems to have a bug, this 1.4.4 release candidate code gets as far as the version the SAF library is released on top of (1.4.2-patch1, I believe)).
* [svn-r5680] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-191-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature. Description: There is some discussion among the SAF team as to whether it is better to use MPI derived types for raw data transfers (thus needing a MPI_File_set_view() call), or whether it is better to use a sequence of low-level MPI types (i.e. MPI_BYTE) for the raw data transfer. Solution: Added an in internal flag to determine whether derived types are preferred (the default), or whether they should be avoided. An environment variable ("HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES") can be set by users to control whether MPI types should be used or not. Set the environment variable to "0" (i.e.: 'setenv HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES 0' to avoid using MPI derived types. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
* [svn-r5662] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-181-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix. Description: The chunking code was using internal allocation routines to put blocks on a free list for reuse, instead of using the system allocation routines (ie. malloc, free, etc.). This causes problems when user filters attempt to allocate/free chunks for their algorithm's use. Solution: Switched the chunking code back to using the system allocation routines, we can address performance issues with them if it becomes a real problem. Platforms tested: Linux 2.2.x (eirene) && IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
* [svn-r5660] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-181-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Avoid creating MPI types (and thus requiring a MPI_File_set_view() call) when contiguous selections are used for dataset I/O. This should be a performance improvement for those sorts of selections. Platforms tested: Linux 2.2.x (eirene) w/parallel && IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel & FORTRAN

* [svn-r5636] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Default change Description: Enable the use of MPI types for collective I/O by default. Platforms tested: Linux 2.2.x (eirene) w/parallel
* [svn-r5603] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-121-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: I/O on "Regular" hyperslab selections could fail to transfer correctly if the number of elements in the selection's row did now fit "evenly" into the buffer being used for the transfer. Solution: Correct the calculation of the block & count offsets within the optimized "regular" hyperslab routines. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5591] Purpose:Bill Wendling2002-06-111-1/+4
| | | | | | | | Update Description: Explained that, if the user uses the "make install prefix=NEW_DIR" option, they'll need to modify the installed h5cc file to reflect the change.
* [svn-r5586] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: H5Dcreate and H5Tcommit allow "empty" compound and enumerated types (i.e. ones with no members) to be stored in the file, but this causes an assertion failure and is somewhat vapid. Solution: Check the datatype "makes sense" before using it for H5Dcreate and H5Tcommit. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5571] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix (#709)/Code improvement. Description: Allow chunks for chunked datasets to be cached when file is open for read-only access. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel
* [svn-r5566] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix (bug #777) Description: Current code allows a compound datatype to be inserted into itself. Solution: Check if the ID for the member is the same as the ID for the compound datatype and reject it if so. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5560] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-101-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix for bug #789 Description: Creating a 1-D dataset region reference caused the library to hang (go into an infinite loop). Solution: Corrected algorithm for serializing hyperslab regions. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5536] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature. Description: Added a "small data" block allocation mechanism to the library, similar to the mechanism used for allocating metadata currently. See the RFC for more details: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/SmallData/SmallData.html This reduces the number of I/O operations which hit the disk for my test program from 19 to 15 (i.e. from 393 to 15, overall). Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN and FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) w/C++
* [svn-r5534] Purpose:Albert Cheng2002-06-041-18/+30
| | | | | | Updated the instructions for tflops and O2K. Platforms tested: eye balled.
* [svn-r5524] Elena Pourmal2002-06-041-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug fix (#699), fix provided by a user, approved by Quincey Description: When a scalar dataspace was written to the file and then subsequently queried with the H5Sget_simple_extent_type function, type was reported H5S_SIMPLE instead of H5S_SCALAR. Solution: Applied a fix (see bug report 699) Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 and Linux 2.2.18
* [svn-r5521] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code improvement Description: The metadata aggregation code in the library was not terribly smart about extending contiguous regions of metadata in the file and would not extend them as far as possible. This causes space in the file to be wasted, also. Solution: Be smarter about extending the space used in the file for metadata by checking whether new metadata blocks allocated in the file are at the end of the current metadata aggregation region and append them to the metadata region if so. This has the nice side benefit of reducing the number of bytes we waste in the file and reducing the size of the file by a small amount in some cases. This reduces the number of I/O operations which hit the disk for my test program from 53 to 19 (i.e. from 393 to 19, overall). Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN and FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) w/C++
