* [svn-r14065] Second try at checking in the "cork the cache" modification.John Mainzer2007-08-101-1/+0
| | | | | | | | First attempt contained slightly dated versions of the files listed below. Must also note that the mods were tested with h5committest, and two other linux builds.
* [svn-r14064] Implemented function allowing the user to cork the metadata cache.John Mainzer2007-08-101-0/+2

* [svn-r13253] Updated all C and C++ style source code files with the THG ↵Albert Cheng2007-02-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | copyright notice. Tested platform: Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel build on copper.
* [svn-r12902] Checkin of Shared Object Header Message work.James Laird2006-11-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This feature is still in progress; Shared Object Header Messages are not complete as a feature and are not thoroughly tested. There are still "TODO" comments in the code (comments with the word "JAMES" in them, so as not to be confused with other TODO comments). Hopefully this checkin will reduce the liklihood of conflicts as I finish implementing this feature. All current tests pass on juniper, copper (parallel), heping, kagiso, and mir.
* [svn-r12774] Modified flush code in the metadata cache to allow it toJohn Mainzer2006-10-181-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | handle flush callbacks which can dirty other entries, and resize and/or rename the target entry. This feature is needed by the fractal heap code. Also added associated test code. H5Commit tested. Test failed on heping, but the error appears to be a syntax error in an un-related file. Tests on copper & sol passed, along with tests on phoenix.
* [svn-r12595] Modified H5C_insert_entry() to accept the H5C__PIN_ENTRY_FLAG entryJohn Mainzer2006-08-171-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | flag, and pin an entry as it is inserted. The objective is to avoid some function call overhead in fheap. Also added matching test code in test/cache.c & test/cache_common.c (also testpar/t_cache.c checked in separately by accident) h5commit tested
* [svn-r12525] Description:Quincey Koziol2006-08-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Refactored free space manager to use metadata cache for serialized free space sections. This speeds up the fractal heap test considerably... Tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4/32 (chicago) Linux 2.4/64 (mir) Mac OS X (amazon)
* [svn-r12462] Committed a variety of metadata cache related changes:John Mainzer2006-07-131-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Added trace file support to the metadata cache. This allows capture of all metadata cache calls in trace files for purposes of optimization and debuging. 2) Added an expunge entry function. This allows an entry to be deleteded from the cache without writing it to disk even if it is dirty. 3) Added a function call to resize pinned entries. 4) Added code to deal with entries that are dirty on load. This is needed in support of a bug fix which can alter object headers on load to repair files. 5) Added progress reporting code to the "MDC API smoke check" test in cache_api.c. To enable the progress reporting, set report_progress to TRUE in mdc_api_call_smoke_check(). Tested with h5committest, and a parallel test on phoenix (dual athelon linux box).

| | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make diffing changes easier. Platforms tested: None necessary, whitespace only change
* [svn-r12374] Purpose:John Mainzer2006-05-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Check in potential fix to unreproduceable bug in t_cache observed on Cobalt 2) Check in code supporting added pinned entry features in the metadata cache. Description: 1) Elena encountered a bug in t_cache when running on Cobalt. On investigation I found a potential race condition in t_cache that could explain her observation. 2) Quincey requested additions to the metadata cache allowing renaming of pinned entryies, and marking of pinned or protected entries as dirty. Solution: 1) Modified t_cache.c to prevent the potential race condition. Elena was unable to reproduce the bug on Cobalt, so we don't know if my fix actually addressed the problem. 2) Added code supporting the requested functions. The changes were relatively trivial, but required substantial new test code. Platforms tested: h5committest, serial test on heping, parallel test on phoenix. Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup/feature twist Description: Adjust recent H5AC routines to take H5F_t pointers instead of H5C_t pointers, to match the rest of the H5AC routines. This change propagated into a few of the tests, which also had some compiler warnings cleaned up... Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & FORTRAN
* [svn-r12311] Purpose:John Mainzer2006-04-281-3/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add pinned entry capability to cache. Description: For frequently accessed cache entries, the protect/unprotect overhead is sometimes a bottleneck. Solution: Allow entries to be pinned in the cache. Pinned entries can't be evicted, but can be flushed or modified. Platforms tested: h5committested -- minus one small typo in test/cache.c whose fix was tested on copper and heping only. Misc. update:
* [svn-r12084] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2006-03-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code checkpoint Description: The fractal heap code is reasonably stable and is passing all its current tests, so checkpoint everything with CVS. Also, add "statistics" module for v2 B-trees code, which is only a stub right now. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Mac OSX (amazon) Linux 2.4 (chicago)
* [svn-r12004] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2006-03-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature & code cleanup Description: Update fractal heap to be able to insert objects into a direct block hanging off the header. Extract "octal dump" code into separate routine so that both the local heaps & fractal heaps can use it. Other code cleanups & support to get this far.

* [svn-r11470] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-09-271-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Repair synchronization bug in the metadata cache in PHDF5 Also repair numerous other bugs that surfaced in testing the bug fix. Description: While operations modifying metadata must be collective, we allow independant reads. This allows metadata caches on different processes to adjust to different sizes, and to place the entries on their dirty lists in different orders. Since only process 0 actually writes metadata to disk (all other processes thought they did, but the writes were discarded on the theory that they had to be collective), this made it possible for another process to modify metadata, flush it, and then read it back in in its original form (pre-modification) form. The possibilities for file corruption should be obvious. Solution: Make the policy that only process 0 can write to file explicit, and visible to the metadata caches. Thus only process 0 may flush dirty entries -- all other caches must retain dirty entries until they are informed by process 0 that the entries are clean. Synchronization is handled by counting the bytes of dirty cache entries created, and then synching up between the caches whenever the sum exceeds an (eventually user specified) limit. Dirty metadata creation is consistent across all processes because all operations modifying metadata must be collective. This change uncovered may bugs which are repaired in this checkin. It also required modification of H5HL and H5O to allocate file space on insertion rather than on flush from cache. Platforms tested: H5committest, heping(parallel & serial) Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches difficult. Solution: Ran this script in each directory: foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp) sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f end Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Too minor to require h5committest

* [svn-r11014] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-07-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Refactor metadata cache to merge "dirtied" flag in with other flags for H5AC_unprotect and H5C_unprotect. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r10978] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-06-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag into the cache code. Description: Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed, as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache coherency bug in PHDF5. Solution: Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper. Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call. Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:
* [svn-r10715] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-05-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove C99 types from new metadata cache related API calls Description: Windows (and perhaps others) don't like int32_t and int64_t. While we have dealt with the issue internally, it is more of a problem in API calls. Solution: Convert int32_t to int and int64_t to long int in the H5AC_cache_config_t structure used by the new metadata cache related API calls. Added explicit type casts to convert between internal and external representations. Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:
* [svn-r10688] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-04-281-2/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add API calls allowing user control of the metadata cache. Description: Prior to this update, the metadata cache was not configurable from outside the library. Solution: Add API calls allowing the user to configure the metadata cache either at file open time, or for any open file. Also added calls permitting the user to monitor cache size and hit rate. These latter facilities are needed for "manual" cache size control Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:
* [svn-r10506] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-03-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add first iteration of "segmented heap" code, which will be used to store links in groups in a more flexible way than the previous "local heap" mechanism. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
* [svn-r10184] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-03-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add new "block tracker" data structure to library, for tracking blocks of bytes in a file. Block trackers will be used to keep track of the blocks belonging to the soon-to-be-implemented "segmented heap" which is designed to replace the current local & global heaps (starting with the local heap). Block trackers will also keep track of the free space in the segmented heap and someday could be used to track the free space in the entire HDF5 file. They are implemented as a small header of information to cache the state of the blocks (max & min sizes of blocks tracked, etc.) and the records of the blocks themselves are stored in a v2 B-tree. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Solaris 2.9 (shanti) h5committest
* [svn-r9939] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-02-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Expand v2 B-tree code to support splitting the root node when enough records are inserted and move metadata cache callbacks into their own source file. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor for h5committest
* [svn-r9928] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-02-031-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add basic code for new B-tree implementation. They don't do much yet, aren't hooked up to anything yet and the format may change, but I'd like to start getting them into the daily tests. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest
* [svn-r9850] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-01-201-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Provide facilities in cache to allow us to avoid a potential cache consistency bug in the parallel case. 2) Clean up a off by one sanity checking bug. 3) Turn off execution of long running tests in debug mode. Description: 1) In the parallel case, all writes to metadata must be collective, but reads may not be. In pricipal, this allows us to different contents in different caches. This isn't a problem as long as the correct data is always on disk, but unless we can force certain writes immediately, that need not be the case. 2) & 3) should need no further explanation. Solution: 1) Add code allowing us to mark cache entries, and then force these entries to be flushed at a later time. Note that to actually avoid the bug, we will have to modify existing code to use these new features. 2) & 3) should need no further explanation. Platforms tested: heping (serial debug and production) committest (copper, sol, and heping). test failed on heping in the c++ portion of the build, but at Quincey's siggestion, I am proceeding with the checkin.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-) Description: Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections. However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch, but not the other. I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label "before_signed_unsigned_changes".

* [svn-r9022] Purpose: Optimization of the cache code in H5C.John Mainzer2004-08-051-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Description: Cache was running too slowly. Solution: Added a hash table for indexing. Retained the tree, but only for dirty entries. As we need to flush dirty entries in increasing address order, this is sufficient. Updated statistics collection code for the above. Converted a number of local functions into macros to avoid the function call overhead. Added code to disable the clean and dirty LRU lists in serial mode. Updated test code to account for the above changes. Platforms tested: h5committested + serial, parallel, and fp on Eirene. Misc. update:
* [svn-r8791] Purpose: Rewrote metadata cache (H5AC.c, etc.) to improve ↵John Mainzer2004-07-021-49/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | performance. Description: Replaced the old metadata cache with a cache with a modified LRU replacement policy. This should improve the hit rate. Solution: Since we want to flush cache entries in increasing address order, I used the threaded binary B-tree code to store the cache entries. There is a fair bit of overhead here, so we may want to consider other options. While the code is designed to allow the support of other replacement algorithms, at present, only a modified version of LRU is supported. The modified LRU algorithm requires that a user selectable portion of the cache entries be clean. The clean entries are evicted first when writes are not permitted. If the pool of clean entries is used up, the cache grows beyond its user specified maximum size. The cache can also exceed its maximum size if the combined size of the protected (or locked) entries exceeds the maximum size of the cache.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: A lot of modifications for the FPHDF5 stuff: H5AC.c H5ACprivate.h - Removed AC_find (it's replaced with AC_protect and AC_unprotect). Added flushing if it's an FPHDF5 driver and we're doing an AC_set or AC_unprotect with the dirty flag set. H5B.c - Split up the B_flush function into different functions since the one function was doing serialization which is better left as a separate entity. H5D.c - Removed some FPHDF5 code that was incorrect H5F.c - Split up the F_flush function so that it no longer allocates file space. Created new functions (F_init_superblock, F_read_superblock, and F_write_superblock) for greater modularity and so that the FPHDF5 non-captain processes can read the superblock after the captain process writes it. H5FD.c - Error message correction. H5FDfphdf5.c - Removed MPI barrier call that wasn't needed. H5FPclient.c H5FPserver.c - Modified so that if a process requests data that isn't exactly aligned, we can return it if we have the block that contains the requested address. H5G.c H5Gent.c H5Gnode.c H5HL.c H5HLpkg.h H5HLprivate.h H5Oefl.c - Removed the H5HL_peek function since it was doing a (now unsafe) holding of the information in the cache. Replaced with protect and unprotect calls. H5TB.c - Error fix. The TB_dless function wasn't working properly. H5Gstab.c - Format change. H5err.txt H5Edefin.h H5Einit.h H5Epubgen.h H5Eterm.h - Added new error code. Platforms tested: Modi4 (paralle, Fortran) Sol (Fortran) Linux (C++, Fortran) Copper (Parallel, Fortran) Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: Added extra parameter to the H5AC_protect() function that indicates if the cache being asked for is going to be written to or just read from. Those AC_protect calls that were H5AC_find calls are now read-only. The rest are writes. Platforms tested: Linux (h5committest not needed due to size and small impact) Misc. update:
* [svn-r7456] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-09-101-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removal of H5AC_find() Description: The H5AC_find() function is mostly redundant and with the new Flexible Parallel HDF5 stuff, we need to do locking on metadata returned from the H5AC_find() anyway. So, all of the locking stuff will be placed in the H5AC_{un}protect() functions. The H5AC_find() is no longer needed. Solution: Replaced all H5AC_finds with H5AC_protects and H5AC_unprotects.

* [svn-r7369] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-08-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: The metadata cache 'destroy' callback routines need the file handle in order for certain callback routines (currently just the H5HG one) to perform extra cleanups. The recent change to call the 'destroy' callback from the 'clear' callback omitted this parameter. Solution: Add the file handle to the metadata cache 'clear' callbacks. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) too small to need h5committest
* [svn-r7367] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-08-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: Added an extra flag to the clear functions that triggers a "destroy" of the object being cleared if necessary. This is a fix for the FPHDF5 stuff which had an object sticking around after it was cleared. (In FPHDF5, some processes are in charge of destroying the object, but all processes might actually allocate the object.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead of collectively from all processes. Solution: Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which could possibly trigger metadata I/O. Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during independent I/O.

Description: Performance Improvements: - Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid constantly looking them up in the FCPL. - Generic property improvements: - Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed up comparisons. - Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table to the TBBT routines in the library. - Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived from them. - Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property. - Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for properties in each list, where the properties in each list are shared with the properties in the class, until a property's value is changed in a list. - Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers. - Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>) internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless calls to H5open() and H5check_version(). - Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of constantly re-zeroing them. - Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset. - Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when checking the modification time of a dataset. - Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code). - Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines. - Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid calling H5check redundantly. - Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for some FPH5 metadata caching issues). - Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups, and call function instead. - Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine. - Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects in metadata cache and rely on the address only. - Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying for all the property list values. - Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for I/O vector size. - Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with more specific default property list based on the type of property list needed. - Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*) routines. - Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines. - Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()- like routines, instead of one combined routine. - Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines. - Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when flushing entire cache out). - Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned on, instead of always tracking them. - Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq). - Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset creation by protecting the object header once and making all the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before unprotecting it. - Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation. - Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file has not been involving in file-mounting operations. - Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII. - Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap) out of loops in many group routine. - Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of dynamically allocation them each time. - Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing group's B-tree twice. - Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to performance improvements, but fixed along the way). - Use free-list for reference counted strings. - Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries, since they are re-created when an object is opened. The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is Elena's "regular.c" benchmark. These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the development branch when compared to the previous code in the development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release branch. Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch. I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results as a followup note. New internal API routines: Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings. Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} Other platforms/configurations tested?

| | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: __DLL__ is a keyword in some platforms and __DLL__ is also defined as a macro for windows DLL applications. That causes problems. Description: Solution: Use H5_DLL*** to replace __DLL***__ at all header files. Change the macro defination at H5api_adpt.h. Platforms tested: linux2.2.18smp, irix64, solaris 2.7 and windows 2000

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup (sorta) Description: When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to 16-bit architectures. Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source module (like Kent's h4toh5 library). Solution: Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
