| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the source code for managing groups and object headers. WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not be able to read your old files!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! Solution: There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them include: - Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol table entries on disk. - Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally. - Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t - Lots more... Platforms tested: h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New feature Description: Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable- length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working correctly. I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-) Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) h5committested

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag into the cache code. Description: Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed, as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache coherency bug in PHDF5. Solution: Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper. Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call. Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-) Description: Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections. However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch, but not the other. I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label "before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Thus when some processes attempted I/O with point selections, and others without, some attempted collective I/O while others did independent I/O. Solution: Arranged for all processes to compare notes before starting I/O, and for all to use independent I/O if any one of them can't do collective I/O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Bug fix Description: When a simple dataspace is created, its extent should be set before using it, or it will silently function as a NULL dataspace. Solution: Added checks on user-supplied dataspaces. Now dataspaces without extents set will throw errors; users must explicitly set a dataspace to be NULL. Platforms tested: sleipnir, windows

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding the first round of patches about supporting collective chunk IO in HDF5 Description: The current HDF5 library doesn't support collective MPIO with chunk storage. When users set collective option in their data transfer with chunk storage, the library silently converted the option to INDEPENDENT and that caused trememdous performance penalty. Some application like WRF-parallel HDF5 IO module has to use contiguous storage for this reason. However, chunking storage has its own advantage(supporting compression filters and extensible dataset), so to make collective MPIO possible inside HDF5 with chunking storage is a very important task. This check-in make collective chunk IO possible for some special cases. The condition is as follows(either case is fine with using collective chunk IO) 1. for each process, the hyperslab selection of the file data space of each dataset is regular and it is fit in one chunk. 2. for each process, the hyperslab selection of the file data space of each dataset is single and the number of chunks for the hyperslab selection should be equal. Solution: Lift up the contiguous storage requirement for collective IO. Use H5D_isstore_get_addr to get the corresponding chunk address. Then the original library routines will take care of getting the correct address to make sure that MPI FILE TYPE is built correctly for collective IO> Platforms tested: arabica(sol), copper(AIX), eirene(Linux) parallel test is checked at copper.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup & optimization Description: Remove old structures that used a union to store information about the dataspace extent and just store the information directly in the dataspace extent itself. Remove ifdef'd references to permutation ordering in dataspaces. We'll definitely need more than this code if/when we implement this feature.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization Description: Revised dataspace selections to use a more "object oriented" mechanism to set the function pointers for each selection and selection iterator. This reduces the amount and number of times that dataspace selection info has to be copied. Additionally, change hyperslab selection information to be dynamically allocated instead of an inline struct.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code optimization & bug fix Description: When dimension information is being stored in the storage layout message on disk, it is stored as 32-bit quantities, possibly truncating the dimension information, if a dimension is greater than 32-bits in size. Solution: Fix the storage layout message problem by revising file format to not store dimension information, since it is already available in the dataspace. Also revise the storage layout data structures to be more compartmentalized for the information for contiguous, chunked and compact storage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Performance improment Description: Speed up chunked dataset I/O. This breaks down into several areas: - Compute chunk selections in the file by using hyperslab operations instead of iterating over each element in the selection. - If the file and memory selections are the same shape, use the file chunk selections to compute the memory chunk selections. This required several additional dataspace, dataspace selection and hyperslab routines. Platforms tested: h5committestted (although Fortran tests failed for some reason)

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} Other platforms/configurations tested?
