* [svn-r6869] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-131-1/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix. Description: When the same dataset is opened more than once and those references to the object are left dangling, the library would not correctly shut down the dataset API, potentially allowing the file to be truncated. Solution: "force" the dataset IDs to be released when the dataset API is being shut down by the library. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committested
* [svn-r6837] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-081-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup. Description: Move many package or internal function prototypes and macro definitions into tighter scope according to their current use. Added more comments where appropriate. Eliminate ancient, unused functions. Added a couple "accessor" functions to get parts of data structures which were moved out of scope. Platforms tested: h5committested
* [svn-r6825] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-071-1208/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature/enhancement Description: Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times. Solution: Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time. There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the remaining issues. Platforms tested: h5committested, FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) serial & parallel, Linux 2.4 (eirene)

* [svn-r6411] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-171-42/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up miscellaneous warnings which have crept into the code. Fix "_POSIX_C_SOURCE not defined" warning on FreeBSD. Adjust gcc compiler flags to be more concise for production mode. Refactor the H5O code so that there is a stronger boundary between code in the H5O package and code in the library which just calls H5O routines. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and gcc 2.95.4 & gcc 3.2.2 Misc. update: Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
* [svn-r6388] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Update feature Description: Relax collective constraint for API functions which only read metadata from a file. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 w/parallel
* [svn-r6387] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-101-132/+126
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel Misc. update: Updated release_docs/RELEASE

* [svn-r6308] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-01-211-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Currently, when the library encounters an object header message that isn't know, it fails to open that object in the file. Solution: Allow the library to skip over the unknown object header message and continue to process the remaining messages, in the hope that the skipped message isn't important later. If it is important, it will be caught at a higher level of the library. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)

* [svn-r6252] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-01-091-549/+547
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: New function. Description: H5Dget_offset returns the offset of a dataset's data relative to the beginning of a file. Platforms tested: arabica(simple function, one test should be enough.) Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
* [svn-r6057] Purpose:Bill Wendling2002-11-051-99/+244
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New Feature. Support for new FPHDF5 Feature Description: More support for the FPHDF5 feature. This splits the H5D_create function into separate parts which update the metadata cache. It was necessary to split apart the H5O_create function to do a similar thing since it would allocate real space on the hard disk. I'm checking this up now so that I don't get too far away from what the CVS repository has and so that others may look at the code and retch^H^H^H^H^Hmarvel at it. If there are any comments, send them my way. There is one outstanding issue, though. I need to use non-API functions in the FPHDF5 stuff. I'm using some APIs right now and should migrate to using others. At the moment, I'm putting that on the back burner until I'm more along in the implementation.

* [svn-r5894] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-08-271-241/+327
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix/Code cleanup/New Feature Description: Correct problems with writing fill-values to external storage and allocate the data storage at the correct times. Also, mostly straighten out the strange code which allocates and fills raw data storage for datasets. Things are still a bit odd in that the fill-values for chunked datasets are written when the space is allocated, instead of in a separate routine, but there are two reasons for this: it's inefficient (especially in parallel) to iterate through all the chunks twice, and (more importantly) the space needed to store compressed chunks isn't known until we've got a buffer of compressed fill-values ready to write to the chunk. Additionally, add in the H5D_SPACE_ALLOC_INCR and H5D_SPACE_ALLOC_DEFAULT setting for the "space time", which incorporate the previous behavior of the space allocation for chunked datasets. The default settings for the different types of dataset storage are now as follows: Contiguous - Late Chunked - Incremental Compact - Early This checkin also incorporates a change to the behavior of external data storage in two ways - fill-values are _never_ written to external storage (under the assumption that writing fill-values is triggered by allocating space in an HDF5 file, and since space is not allocated in the file, the fill-values should not be written) and external data files are now created if they don't exist when data is written to them. The fill-value will probably need to be revisited at some time in the future, this just seemed like the safer course currently. I think I cleaned up some compiler errors also, before getting bogged down in the fixes for the space allocation and fill-values. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/serial & parallel. Will be testing on IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) in serial & parallel shortly.

| | | | | | | | | Purpose: Design for compact dataset Description: Compact dataset is stored in the header message for dataset layout. Platforms tested: arabica, eirene.
* [svn-r5875] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-08-141-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Additional regression tests & bug fixes Description: There was no testing for the H5Dget_storage_size function and it seemed to be having problems with compressed, chunked datasets, so write some tests to verify that its working correctly. Also, fix case for allocating storage early for chunked datasets Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel
* [svn-r5871] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-08-121-28/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Combined H5P_isa_class and H5I_object functionality into a new internal H5P API function: H5P_object_verify, which checks that a property list is the appropriate class and then returns the property list object associated with the property list ID. This reduces the source code by about 200 LOC and trims the library binary some more. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5867] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-08-091-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Changed the last HRETURN* statements in the FUNC_ENTER macros into HGOTO* macros, which reduces the size of the library binary in certain configurations by another 10% Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel, IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) serial & parallel
* [svn-r5866] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-08-091-1/+1

* [svn-r5842] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-08-081-13/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Change most (all?) HRETURN_ERROR macros to HGOTO_ERROR macros, along with HRETURN macros to HGOTO_DONE macros. This unifies the error return path from functions and reduces the size of the library by up to 10% on some platforms. Additionally, I improved a lot of the error cleanup code in many routines. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) serial & parallel.
* [svn-r5840] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-07-311-258/+220
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Created a new H5I function which combined the some of the functionality of H5I_get_type and H5I_object: H5I_object_verify. Using this new function in the library trims another ~200 lines of code off the library and makes the resulting binaries smaller and faster also. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5839] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-07-311-31/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Move operations on each type of selection into the source code file for each selection type (all->H5Sall.c, hyperslab->H5Shyper.c, etc.) Remove central H5S_select_<foo> operations, instead calling the operations through function pointers in each selection (a much more object-oriented approach). Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5834] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-07-241-37/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Large code cleanup/re-write Description: This is phase 1 of the data I/O re-architecture, with the following changes: - Changed the selection drivers to not actually do any I/O, they only generate the sequences of offset/length pairs needed for the I/O (or memory access, in the case of iterating or filling a selection in a memory buffer) - Wrote more abstract I/O routines which get the sequence of offset/ length pairs for each selection and access perform the I/O or memory access. Benefits of this change include: - Removed ~3400 lines of quite redundant code, with corresponding reduction in the size of library binary. - Any selection can now directly access memory when performing I/O, if no type conversions are required, instead of just "regular" hyperslab and 'all' selections, which speeds up I/O. - Sped up I/O for hyperslab selections which have contiguous lower dimensions by "flattening" them out into lesser dimensional objects for the I/O. No file format or API changes were necessary for this change. The next phase will be to create a "selection driver" for each type of selection, allowing each type of selection to directly call certain methods that only apply to that type of selection, instead of passing through dozens of functions which have switch statements to call the appropriate method for each selection type. This will also reduce the amount of code in the library and speed things up a bit more. Phase 3 will involve generating an MPI datatype for all types of selections, instead of only "regular" hyperslab and 'all' selections. This will allow collective parallel I/O for all I/O operations which don't require type conversions. It will also open up the door for allowing collective I/O on datasets which require type conversion. Phase 4 will involve changing the access pattern to deal with chunked datasets in a more optimal way (in serial). Phase 5 will deal with accessing chunked datasets more optimally for collective parallel I/O operations. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/ parallel & C++ and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel

* [svn-r5680] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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)
