* [svn-r11967] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2006-02-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Check in initial "fractal heap" code, for supporting the group redesign. Also, remove some remnants of the segmented heap/block tracker/B+tree code which I didn't find during the last pass. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Mac OSX (amazon) Linux 2.4
* [svn-r11965] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2006-02-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Maintenance Description: Remove half-built (half-baked? :-) implementation of B+tree, block tracker and segmented heaps. (In preparation for starting the new heap coding) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4 (heping)
* [svn-r11897] Purpose:John Mainzer2006-01-271-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Add parallel test for metadata cache 2) Split serial test for metadata cache into two parts 3) Fix bug in which cache was flushed needlessly when the cache wasn't full. 4) Performance improvements 5) Update API for parallel cache coherency bug fix. Description: See above. Solution: See above. Platforms tested: h5committest Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:
* [svn-r11245] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-08-131-95/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r11031] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-07-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Initial checkin of B+ Tree code. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committest Misc. update:
* [svn-r10688] Purpose:John Mainzer2005-04-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r9687] Purpose:John Mainzer2004-12-181-0/+686
Modify the cache code (H5C) to support automatic cache resizing to adapt to the work load at run time. Description: Different applications require different sized caches to maintain an acceptable hit rate. This set of changes attempts to provide the ability to adjust to circumstances automatically. Solution: Added highly configurable code to allow the user to either set a fixed cache size, or allow the cache to grow and shrink according to conditions. If enabled, cache size increases are triggered when the hit rate drops below a user specified threshold in a user specified interval. Cache size reductions (if enabled) are triggered when either the hit rate exceeds some user specified threshold over a user specified interval, when the cache contains "enough" entries that haven't been accessed for a user specified interval, or some mix of the above. See the header comments on the H5C_auto_size_ctl_t structure in H5Cprivate.h for further details. At present, the cache resize configuration options are not accessible via the user API. Must add this. Platforms tested: h5committested, heping (serial), and copper (parallel) Misc. update:
