Description: Removed PABLO from the source
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica with 64-bit, copper with parallel,
heping with GNU C and C++ and PGI fortran (but
I disabled hl, there is some weird problem only
on heping: F9XMODFLAG is not
propagated to the Makefile files

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.

bug fix.
Description:
H5FD_mpio_init was calling the public API version of H5Iget_type()
which would clear the error stack, thus cleared away error messages
prematurely.
Solution:
Changed it to call the private version of H5I_get_type() which
does not clear the error stack.
Platforms tested:
o2 (SGI) parallel.

Bug fix.
Description:
Revert the optimization to the MPI-I/O VFD from earlier this week that
eliminated calling MPI_File_set_size() when a file was truncated. This doesn't
work because of the way we track the 'eoa' (end of allocated space) in the
file: we just advance the eoa value when space is allocated in the file and we
don't zero out the space in the file. This causes a problem where we assume
that all "newly allocated" space in the file contains zero bytes, but if we
don't call MPI_File_set_size(), the file can contain the previous data (if the
file previously existed) and not zeros.
Unfortunately, because we allow independent raw data parallel I/O, there
is no way to address this issue. :-(
Solution:
Revert to previous method of retrieving the file's size, etc. from before
the optimization.

Bug fix/optimization
Description:
Address slowdown in MPI-I/O file metadata operations that was introduced
mid-stream. We now _require_ a POSIX compliant parallel file system for the
MPI-I/O file driver (as well as for the MPI-POSIX file driver).
Also optimized file open operation when the file is being created by
reducing the number of collective & syncronizing calls.
Additionally, refactor the MPI routines into a common place, eliminating
duplicated code.

Bug fix
Description:
When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just
comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems
when the raw information contains pointers to other information.
Solution:
Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user
application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of
the property value.
This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development
branch, but not the release branch.

Bug fix
Description:
MPIO driver did not detect partial read or write. It assumed if read
completed, all bytes requested are read. Therefore, if a dataset was
not completely written yet, the unread part will not be filled with
default fill value.
Solution:
Added the MPI_Get_elements call to find exactly how many bytes
are read (or written). For read case, if not enough is read,
the rest is padded with zeros. For write case, it is an error
if not able to write them all in first attempt. (It is not
always possible to repeat write for MPIO since file-view may
be changed, collective would hang, etc. So, we do just one attempt.)
Platforms tested:
eirene (pp). Should work for other platforms since these
have been tested in v1.6.

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... )

Bug fix
Description:
Our previous "optimization" of metadata writing which only wrote metadata
from one process was abusing MPI-I/O and after some consultation with Rob Ross

operation with all processes, for metadata writes.

Bug fixes/API changes
Description:
Previously, the Communicator and Info object arguments supplied
to H5Pset_fapl_mpio() are stored in the property with its handle
values. This meant changes to the communicator or the Info object
after calling H5Pset_fapl_mpio would affect the how the property
list function. This was also the case when H5Fopen/create operated.
They just stored the handle value. This is not according to the
MPI-2 defined behavior of how Info objects should be handled. (MPI-2
defines Info objects must be parsed when called.)
The old design was trying to avoid numerous duplicates of the same
information (e.g., every property object holds one version, every
file opened holds another version, when all of them are referring to
the same original version.) Nevertheless it is safer to implement
it according to MPI-2 definition.
Futhermore, the library often needs to do message passing using the
supplied communicator. Using the same communicator as the application
version may result in some messages mix up.
Solution:
H5Pset_fapl_mpio now stores a duplicate of each of the communicator
and Info object.
H5Pget_fapl_mpio returns a duplicate of its stored communicator and
Info object. It is now the responsibility of the applications to free
those objects when done.
H5Fopen/create also stores a duplicate of the communicator and Info
object supplied by the File Access Property list.
H5Fclose frees those duplicates.
There are a few more internal VFL call back functions that they
follow this "make duplicates" requirement.

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.

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.

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.

New feature.
Description:
Added MPI-posix VFL driver. This driver uses MPI to coordinate actions, but
performs I/O directly with posix sec(2) I/O functions. This driver should
_NOT_ be used if the file accessed is not on a parallel filesystem.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/parallel & IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel

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)).

Code improvement
Description:
Some small code cleanups and took out the code the was turning off the
metadata cache for parallel I/O (!)
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel

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

Code cleanup
Description:
Use dataset transfer property list to hold information about the MPI types
for the current transfer, instead of setting pseudo-global variables in
the file's struct.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2.x (eirene) w/parallel & IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel & FORTRAN
|
|

Code cleanup
Description:
Change MPI-I/O code to use the address of the dataset for the displacement,
instead of having a separate displacement value. Removed displacement
parameter from H5FD_mpio_setup parameters.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2.x (eirene) w/parallel & IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel.

Code Improvement
Description:
Split the metadata accumulator code into two parts: one for allowing writes
of the accumulator buffer during reads (when the buffer is dirty and needs
to be flushed to disk in order to hold the new metadata being read in) and
another for only allowing writes of the buffer during writes.
This allows the MPI-I/O VFL driver to use the metadata accumulator (but
only during writes) and benefit from the reduced number of metadata I/O
operations that it brings.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/parallel

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++
