* [svn-r11245] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2005-08-131-956/+956
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches difficult. Solution: Ran this script in each directory: foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp) sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f end Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) Too minor to require h5committest

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a compile issue with the SX6 port. Description: In cache.c, invalid_configs array was declared as const, which caused problems when elements of the array were passed to H5Pset_mdc_config() Solution: Remove the const modifier from the declaration of invalid_configs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove C99 types from new metadata cache related API calls (take 2 -- missed one in the previous check in) Description: Windows (and perhaps others) don't like int32_t and int64_t. While we have dealt with the issue internally, it is more of a problem in API calls. Solution: Convert int32_t to int and int64_t to long int in the new metadata cache related API calls.

While we have dealt with the issue internally, it is more of a problem in API calls. Solution: Convert int32_t to int and int64_t to long int in the H5AC_cache_config_t structure used by the new metadata cache related API calls. Added explicit type casts to convert between internal and external representations. Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add API calls allowing user control of the metadata cache. Description: Prior to this update, the metadata cache was not configurable from outside the library. Solution: Add API calls allowing the user to configure the metadata cache either at file open time, or for any open file. Also added calls permitting the user to monitor cache size and hit rate. These latter facilities are needed for "manual" cache size control Platforms tested: h5committested Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reduce the run time of the cache tests. Description: Some of the cache tests run for quite a while, which has been causing problems with our daily build and test. In my last modification to cache.c, I added code to skip these stress tests unless we were building in production mode. Since things go faster in production mode, the extra tests are not a major problem here. However, this means that the stress tests are only run once or twice a week. Solution: To try to deal with this, I modified the four longest tests to throttle depending on whether NDEBUG is defined. When NDEBUG is not defined, runtime for the cache tests should be about 1/5th its regular run time. We will see if this is enough of a reduction to avoid problems. There is some doubt in my mind as to just how much good the throttled tests do, but they should be better than nothing. As mentioned before, the correct solution is to build some proper, random test code. Platforms tested: h5committested production and debug builds on heping. Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Provide facilities in cache to allow us to avoid a potential cache consistency bug in the parallel case. 2) Clean up a off by one sanity checking bug. 3) Turn off execution of long running tests in debug mode. Description: 1) In the parallel case, all writes to metadata must be collective, but reads may not be. In pricipal, this allows us to different contents in different caches. This isn't a problem as long as the correct data is always on disk, but unless we can force certain writes immediately, that need not be the case. 2) & 3) should need no further explanation. Solution: 1) Add code allowing us to mark cache entries, and then force these entries to be flushed at a later time. Note that to actually avoid the bug, we will have to modify existing code to use these new features. 2) & 3) should need no further explanation. Platforms tested: heping (serial debug and production) committest (copper, sol, and heping). test failed on heping in the c++ portion of the build, but at Quincey's siggestion, I am proceeding with the checkin.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reduce run time of daily tests. Description: cache, the test program for the metadata cache has been taking a while to execute. Solution: As a short term "fix", I have commented out all but one of the long running test functions. Of course that means that we aren't running these tests at present. I'm not sure that this is a good idea. Platforms tested: Serial on Heping. 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".

Description: Different applications require different sized caches to maintain an acceptable hit rate. This set of changes attempts to provide the ability to adjust to circumstances automatically. Solution: Added highly configurable code to allow the user to either set a fixed cache size, or allow the cache to grow and shrink according to conditions. If enabled, cache size increases are triggered when the hit rate drops below a user specified threshold in a user specified interval. Cache size reductions (if enabled) are triggered when either the hit rate exceeds some user specified threshold over a user specified interval, when the cache contains "enough" entries that haven't been accessed for a user specified interval, or some mix of the above. See the header comments on the H5C_auto_size_ctl_t structure in H5Cprivate.h for further details. At present, the cache resize configuration options are not accessible via the user API. Must add this. Platforms tested: h5committested, heping (serial), and copper (parallel) Misc. update:

* [svn-r8791] Purpose: Rewrote metadata cache (H5AC.c, etc.) to improve ↵John Mainzer2004-07-021-0/+4067
performance. Description: Replaced the old metadata cache with a cache with a modified LRU replacement policy. This should improve the hit rate. Solution: Since we want to flush cache entries in increasing address order, I used the threaded binary B-tree code to store the cache entries. There is a fair bit of overhead here, so we may want to consider other options. While the code is designed to allow the support of other replacement algorithms, at present, only a modified version of LRU is supported. The modified LRU algorithm requires that a user selectable portion of the cache entries be clean. The clean entries are evicted first when writes are not permitted. If the pool of clean entries is used up, the cache grows beyond its user specified maximum size. The cache can also exceed its maximum size if the combined size of the protected (or locked) entries exceeds the maximum size of the cache.
