* [svn-r9354] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-10-011-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix & code cleanup Description: More dataset cleanups to get to a point where we can fix the chunked I/O bug. Also fix a couple of errors in the recent file object resurrection changes which should hopefully address the recent daily test failres (H5T.c) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Solaris 2.7 (arabica) h5committest
* [svn-r8981] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-08-021-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Various minor tweaks to clean code up and bring it into closer syncronization with the release branch. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel h5committested IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
* [svn-r8932] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up collective chunking code a bit. Also, add '--enable-instrument' configure flag to have a mechanism for determining that optimized operations happened correctly in the library (instead of just the "normal" way) by allowing 'flag' properties to be set outside the library and set when the "right" thing happens. This is mainly for debugging and regression checks, so we make certain we don't break optimized I/O by accident. It's enabled by default when --enable-debug is on (which is on by default in the development branch and off by default in the release branch), but can also be independently controlled with its own configure flag.

* [svn-r8892] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up a bunch of warnings and bring new code better inline with current library coding practice. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest Misc. update:
* [svn-r8853] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too minor to require h5committest (also, recent h5dump commits have broken testing...)
* [svn-r8844] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-07-091-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Koziol2004-07-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r8613] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-06-051-61/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor code Description: Move chunk and contiguous cached raw data from file information to dataset information. This simplifies a number of internal interfaces, aligns the code with it's purpose better and should allow more optimizations to the chunked data I/O performance.

* [svn-r8600] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-05-311-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Don't recompute the internal index value for looking up the chunk in the hash table, just use the value already computed from iterating through the chunks. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 (arabica) FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
* [svn-r8158] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-02-061-16/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup/optimization Description: Query property list values once, at the beginning of the I/O routines, instead of querying the property list values multiple (lots!) of times in lower level routines. Solution: Create "property list caches" for internal library queries of the property list values. Platforms tested: IBM p690 (copper) w/parallel & fphdf5 h5committest
* [svn-r7917] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-12-061-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: The F_open and F_flush functions had a lot of cruft in them. The F_flush was being used as a way to allocate the superblock. The F_open had a bunch of code in there to read and serialize the superblock. Solution: Moved these out into their own functions.

* [svn-r7316] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-08-081-2/+0

* [svn-r7232] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-07-161-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: When a non-default indexed storage B-tree internal 'K' value is set by the user, the chunked datasets created in that file (until it is closed) use the user's 'K' value and the data can be accessed correctly, but the 'K' value is not stored in the file. However, once the file is closed and re-opened, the non-default 'K' value is lost and the data in the chunked datasets will not be able to be accessed correctly. Solution: Store the indexed storage B-tree internal 'K' value in the superblock. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r7201] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-07-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Finish converting the B-tree 'K' values to use unsigned integers, rather than signed ones, since negative amounts of entries in a B-tree node aren't meaningful. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup/Feature removal Description: Remove "round robin" writing of metadata in MPI VFDs (and a couple of other places). This never really worked the way I hoped it would and it causes problems on certain machines. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel Too small for triple check.
* [svn-r7057] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-06-181-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix, refactored code Description: Fixed closing objects for "strong" file degree, which previously would sometime attempt to close the same object twice (when a named datatype and a dataset which used it were both left open before the file was closed). Stopped datatype iteration from querying for the group entry of non-named datatypes. Added attributes to the list of objects that can be queried by H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids, since they can hold open a file also. Took a suggestion from Robb to return the number of open objects in the return values of H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids. Also, added a "max_objs" parameter to the H5Fget_obj_ids function, so that it can work well with staticly allocated arrays. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest

* [svn-r6825] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-071-34/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r6497] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-03-191-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Finish code cleanup Description: Wrap up the conversion of H5F_flush's multiple boolean flags into a single bitfield of flags by pushing the flags down into the H5AC_flush and H5F_istore_flush routines. Also, changed the flags from H5_FLUSH_<foo> to H5F_FLUSH_<foo> to be more consistent with rest of library. And reverted the changes to H5FDflush and H5FD_flush routines.

* [svn-r6496] Purpose:Bill Wendling2003-03-191-11/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactoring of Flush Logic Description: The Flushing logic passed in multiple flags to indicate what type of flush it was: closing, invalidate, alloc only. This made extending the function of the flush logic to handle other flags annoying. Solution: I changed it to be just one bitmasked flag to indicate what type of flushing to do. I also added the CLEAR_ONLY flag, which will be used in the FPHDF5 stuff. Platforms tested: h5committest doesn't work for me (my environment isn't setup on the other machines I guess). I tested it manually: Linux parallel & C++ Sol Fortran Modi4 parallel & Fortran.
* [svn-r6387] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-101-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r6028] Purpose:Bill Wendling2002-10-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: The NBYTE{ENCODE,DECODE} macros were updating the pointer "p" to a new value instead of one of the "real" pointers passed into the macro. Solution: Changed it so that it updates the destination pointer which gets passed into these macros. I'm not sure if this is correct, since neither of these macros are actually used in our source code... Platforms tested: They aren't used, so no testing possible.

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix. Description: The chunking code was using internal allocation routines to put blocks on a free list for reuse, instead of using the system allocation routines (ie. malloc, free, etc.). This causes problems when user filters attempt to allocate/free chunks for their algorithm's use. Solution: Switched the chunking code back to using the system allocation routines, we can address performance issues with them if it becomes a real problem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: The H5Gget_objinfo() function was not setting the 'fileno' field in the H5G_stat_t struct passed in. Solution: Added a "file serial number" to each file currently open in the library and put that in the 'fileno' field. If a file is opened twice (with H5Fopen) and the VFL driver detects that it is the same file (i.e. the two file structures have the same "shared file info" in the library's memory structures), they will have the same serial number. This serial number has two drawbacks: - If a VFL driver doesn't/can't detect that two calls to H5Fopen with the same file actually _are_ the same file, each will get a different serial number - If the same file is closed and re-opened, the serial number will be different. It is be possible to fix the second drawback for many VFL drivers, but it would be a lot of effort and probably isn't worth it until we've got a good reason to do it. Dunno if we'll ever be able to fix the first drawback... Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) VS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: When file space was returned to the file space free-list for reuse, occasionally raw data allocations which used space from the free-list would overlap with the metadata accumulator and get over-written with the cached information in the accumulator, corrupting the data. Solution: Check if the space about to be recycled on the free-list is going to be used for raw data and also overlaps with the metadata accumulator cache, avoiding using space that fits those criteria. This fixes bug #701 Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix Description: The file metadata macros generate unaligned access warnings on the IA64 architecture. Solution: Got rid of bogus big-endian vs. little-endian differentiation when encoding and decoding file metadata and use proper set of macros to prevent unaligned access problems. This fixes bug #672. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
