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

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: __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/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.

* [svn-r5799] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-07-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* [svn-r5667] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-191-6/+0

* [svn-r5538] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code improvement. Description: Added boot block and driver info block checksumming feature to the shared file information. This prevents these blocks from being written out multiple times when they haven't changed. This reduces the number of I/O operations which hit the disk for my test program from 15 to 14 (i.e. from 393 to 14, overall). Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN and FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) w/C++
* [svn-r5429] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-05-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix/Code improvement. Description: Currently, the chunk data allocation routine invoked to allocate space for the entire dataset is inefficient. It writes out each chunk in the dataset, whether it is already allocated or not. Additionally, this happens not only when it is created, but also anytime it is opened for writing, or the dataset is extended. Worse, there's too much parallel I/O syncronization, which slows things down even more. Solution: Only attempt to write out chunks that don't already exist. Additionally, share the I/O writing between all the nodes, instead of writing everything with process 0. Then, only block with MPI_Barrier if chunks were actually created. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Migrate from configure macros of XYZ_ABC to H5_XYZ_ABC Description: configure generates many macros definitions on the fly and were stored in src/H5config.h which is included by H5public.h. But other software that uses hdf5 may also run their own configure. There can be a clash in macro name space. We decided awhile ago to prepend all generated macros with "H5_" to avoid conflicts. The process has started and this commit completes it (at least attempt to). Solution: Many macros symbols (e.g. SIZEOF_xxx and HAVE_xxx were changed to H5_SIZEOF_xxx and H5_HAVE_xxx). Then H5private.h no longer includes H5config.h. This cuts H5config.h away from HDF5 source code. Pending issues: The module of fortran and pablo are to be resolved in a different commit. Platforms tested: eirene (parallel), arabica (solaris 7 --enable-fortran, --enable-cxx)
* [svn-r5259] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-04-251-15/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Previously, the I/O pipeline (pline), external file list (efl) and fill- value (fill) structs were passed down the raw data function call chain, even into and/or through functions which didn't use them. Since all three of these pieces of information are available from the dataset creation property list, just pass the dataset creation property list down the function call chain and query for the information needed in a particular function. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r5130] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2002-04-021-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix & Feature Description: The selection offset was being ignored for optimized hyperslab selection I/O operations. Additionally, I've found that the restrictions on optimized selection I/O operations were too strict and found a way to allow more hyperslabs to use the optimized I/O routines. Solution: Incorporate the selection offset into the selection location when performing optimized I/O operations. Allow optimized I/O on any single hyperslab selection and also allow hyperslab operations on chunked datasets. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r4696] Raymond Lu2001-12-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Modify H5Fclose behavior Description: The HDF5 actual file close behaves in several ways in terms of if there are still objects(dataset, group, datatype) opened in file. Solution: Added a new file access property, file close degree. It has four values, H5F_CLOSE_DEFAULT H5F_CLOSE_WEAK H5F_CLOSE_SEMI H5F_CLOSE_STRONG The way a file is closed is decided by these values. Platforms tested: IRIX64 6.5, SunOS 5.6, FreeBSD 4.4

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in the library. Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is 64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to the smaller ones without checking for overflow. Also, some other small code cleanups,etc. Solution: Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed casts. Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into the the library code a bit better. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

* [svn-r4355] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-08-141-18/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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)
* [svn-r4181] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-07-101-10/+16
| | | | | | | | | Bug Fix, Code Cleanup, Code Optimization, etc. Description: Fold in the hyperslab speedups, clean up compile warnings and change a few things from using 'unsigned' or 'hsize_t' to use 'size_t' instead. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.7 (arabica), Irix64 6.5 (modi4)
* [svn-r3885] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-05-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Document bug fix Description: IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! A case where metadata in a file could get corrupted in certain unusual sitations was detected and fixed. In certain circumstances, metadata could get cached in the raw data cache, and if that particular piece of metadata was updated on disk while incorrectly cached, the new metadata would get overwritten with the stale metadata from the raw data cache when it was flushed out. Additionally, I've patched up the raw data cache to be smarter about how much it caches and how much I/O it triggers, leading to some speedups. Solution: Changed the raw data I/O routines which perform caching to require a parameter with the size of the dataset being accessed and limited the cache to no more than that many bytes. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
* [svn-r3781] Purpose:Bill Wendling2001-04-051-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update Description: Changed #include <hdf_file.h> construct to #include "hdf_file.h" so that the GNU compiler can more easily pick up the dependencies which it places in the .depend and Dependencies files. Also regenerated the Dependencies to go along with this. Platforms tested: Linux
* [svn-r3252] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-01-091-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup. Description: Fixed _lots_ (I mean _tons_) of warnings spit out by the gcc with the extra warnings. Including a few show-stoppers for compression on IRIX machines. Solution: Changed lots of variables' types to more sensible and consistent types, more range-checking, more variable typecasts, etc. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind), IRIX64-64 (modi4)
* [svn-r2722] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2000-10-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Feature symmetry Description: A while ago I needed to get the 'type' of data being accessed during writes to the VFL driver, so I put in code to get the information down there. Albert asked for the same information during reads, so I've added that in. Tested: FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
* [svn-r2652] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2000-10-101-0/+212
Maintainance & performance enhancements Description: Re-arranged header files to protect private symbols better. Changed optimized regular hyperslab I/O to compute the offsets more efficiently from previous method of using matrix operations. Added sequential I/O operations at a more abstract level (at the same level as H5F_arr_read/write), to support the optimized hyperslab I/O. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.6 (baldric) & FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
