| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix/code cleanup Description: Clean up raw data I/O code to bundle the I/O parameters (dataset, DXPL ID, etc) into a single struct to pass around through the dataset I/O routines, since they are always passed together, until very near the bottom of the I/O stack.

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

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

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

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

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | API tweak. Description: The H5Sget_select_bounds() API call was using hsize_t arrays for retrieving the 'start' and 'end' coordinates, which is counter to the rest of the dataspace API. Solution: Change the arrays to be hssize_t instead. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/C++ FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel h5committested Misc. update: Updated all docs for this change.

* [svn-r6942] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-311-1/+175
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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)
* [svn-r6825] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-071-249/+389
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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/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.

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

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