* [svn-r11686] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-11-071-407/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable- length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working correctly. I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committested

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug Fix Description: If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file. Solution: HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost.

* [svn-r8865] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-131-52/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Re-work the insertion of a new child into an existing node, to exploit some speedups for adding the rightmost child, since this is a very common case when appending records to an unlimited size dataset. Also, hoist the checks for the tree's 'K' value into a field in the shared information about the tree, instead of re-calculating them all the time.

* [svn-r8853] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-101-234/+192
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Refactor B-tree code to extract all common information for a B-tree into a shared structure that is pointed to by all the nodes in tree (instead of being included in each node). Also re-order B-tree node comparison checks for chunked datasets to check for >= the upper node first, since the comparison is a bit "heavy" and this check is more likely to succeed when you are adding records to the dataset.

* [svn-r8844] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-091-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: The "shared" raw B-tree node can get freed before all the B-tree nodes had been flushed out to disk and released by the cache. Solution: Implement a simple reference counting wrapper for objects in the library and use it to hold the shared raw B-tree nodes so they aren't freed before all references to them in memory are released. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) IRIX64 6.5 (modei4)
* [svn-r8823] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-071-397/+179
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Since the raw B-tree nodes are the same size and only used when reading in or writing out a B-tree node, move raw B-tree node buffer from being per node to a single node that is shared among all B-tree nodes of a particular tree, freeing up a lot of space and eliminating lots of memory copies, etc. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest

* [svn-r8791] Purpose: Rewrote metadata cache (H5AC.c, etc.) to improve ↵John Mainzer2004-07-021-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [svn-r8731] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-231-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup & minor optimization Description: Re-work the way interface initialization routines are specified in the library to avoid the overhead of checking for them in routines where there is no interface initialization routine. This cleans up warnings with gcc 3.4, reduces the library binary size a bit (about 2-3%) and should speedup the library's execution slightly.

* [svn-r8625] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-081-4/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Avoid pushing errors on error stack when an object is not found in a B-tree. Sometimes we are just checking if the object exists before we insert it into the B-tree and the higher levels in the library should be responsible for determining if not finding the object in B-tree is really an error.

* [svn-r8075] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-01-161-1/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix. Description: Fix problems in B-tree deletion routine that were corrupting the data structure when the B-tree had several levels and the right-most item from a leaf node that was the right-most child of an internal node was removed. Also address similar problems when a complete internal or right-most node was removed. NOTE: The B-tree deletion routines are still _NOT_ maintaining the B-tree properties correctly, that will be addressed in a future (hopefully soon) fix. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too obscure to require h5committest
* [svn-r7917] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-12-061-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up compiler warnings, especially the 'FUNC' variable not used which comes out in production mode. Solution: Had to add a new FUNC_ENTER_NOAPI_NOINIT_NOFUNC macro for those non-API functions which don't need the 'FUNC' variable defined. (This will be _so_ much easier when C99 is standard on all our supposed platforms, since it has a __FUNC__ macro... ) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor for h5committest (although there were lots of files changed, the change was minor in each one)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:
* [svn-r7467] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-09-111-15/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Patch up a few places where the metadata cache could ask for a read lock instead of a write lock and other minor code cleanups. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor to need h5committest Misc. update:
* [svn-r7460] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-09-101-19/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Wendling2003-09-101-27/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r7445] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-09-041-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix, of a sort Description: Some of the code would get an object from the cache via the H5AC_find() function and then modify the returned object. This behavior is incorrect as the pointer returned via the H5AC_find() function is supposed to be read only. Solution: Changed the H5AC_finds to H5AC_protect() instead and added the appropriate H5AC_unprotect() function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [svn-r7367] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-08-151-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: This fixes a bug in the low-level metadata caching code in the library which could possibly lose metadata during file I/O when a lot of objects are inserted into a group. This also fixes a couple of (similar) fencepost bugs in the B-tree deletion code. Solution: For the metadata bug - call the low-level driver's 'write' routine instead of H5FD_write.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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? FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel Solaris 2.6 (baldric) serial
