* [svn-r8252] Purpose:Pedro Vicente Nunes2004-03-111-20/+214
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bug fix new test Description: the fletcher filter used a temporary 2 byte word buffer to compute the checksum. this is non portable between big-endian/little endian. added a test that reads 2 pre-saved files (one LE, other BE) with that filter enabled Solution: replaced with a buffer of 1 byte type Platforms tested: linux solaris solaris 64 bit AIX windows Misc. update:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Add C++ and FORTRAN wrappers for new H5Pdelete_filter routine, along with documentation and a note in the release notes. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/ C++ and FORTRAN Too minor for full h5committest
* [svn-r8113] Purpose:Pedro Vicente Nunes2004-01-261-0/+121
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | new library function H5Pdelete_filter deletes one or all filters from a dataset creation property list this was done for the NONE option of h5repack, added tests for this feature added a test for the new function in /test/dsets.c Description: Solution: Platforms tested: linux solaris AIX Misc. update:
* [svn-r8038] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2004-01-081-0/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems when the raw information contains pointers to other information. Solution: Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of the property value. This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development branch, but not the release branch. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
* [svn-r8007] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-12-311-0/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix Description: Range check the szip 'pixels per block' against the chunk size of the dataset when attempting to create a new dataset, since the szip library requires the PPB to be at least the size of the fastest changing dimension in the chunk. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) too minor for h5committest

* [svn-r6825] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-05-071-39/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r6613] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-04-091-56/+822
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup & new tests Description: Updated szip and shuffle testing to reflect changes to API functions. Added testing for new API functions: H5Pmodify_filter, H5Pget_filter_by_id and H5Pall_filters_avail. Added testing for "can apply" and "set local callbacks. Cleaned up various things, also. Solution: Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/szip Linux 2.4 (sleipnir) w/szip Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/szip, FORTRAN & parallel Misc. update:
* [svn-r6582] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-04-031-351/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Updated copyright. Removed szip-specific testing in favor of standard testing, now that bugs in the szip filter are fixed.

* [svn-r6553] Purpose:MuQun Yang2003-04-011-26/+406
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To add tests for szip compression in HDF5 Description: Three tests were added: 1) szip filter itself 3) szip + shuffle + fletch32 2) fletch32 + shuffle + szip Solution: Since H5Dget_storagesize returns 0(Quincey can fix it or it may be gone), I create another function called test_internal_filter_szip, which is the almost the same as test_internal_filter but comments out H5Dget_storage_size function. Platforms tested: Since there are changes of configure.in and configure,I didn't use h5committest. I tested with four platforms. 1) Linux 2.4 (eirene) 2) Solaris 2.7(arabic 3) windows 2000(VS 6.0) 4) SGI IRIX6.5-64(modi4) For test 1)-3), only basic C tests were done For modi4 test, I tested 64-bit C,parallel and fortran. All tests passed, except a warning message from szip library when checksum is used in some order, which doesn't cause any real problems. Misc. update:

* [svn-r6411] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2003-02-171-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code cleanup Description: Clean up miscellaneous warnings which have crept into the code. Fix "_POSIX_C_SOURCE not defined" warning on FreeBSD. Adjust gcc compiler flags to be more concise for production mode. Refactor the H5O code so that there is a stronger boundary between code in the H5O package and code in the library which just calls H5O routines. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and gcc 2.95.4 & gcc 3.2.2 Misc. update: Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces. 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?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code Cleanup & New Tests Description: tmisc.c: Switched from using H5_HAVE_COMPRESSION flag in favor of H5_HAVE_FILTER_DEFLATE. dsets.c: Switched from using H5_HAVE_COMPRESSION flag in favor of H5_HAVE_FILTER_DEFLATE. Refactored I/O filter tests to allow new filters to be [more] easily added. Added tests for shuffle & deflate+shuffle I/O filters (if the filter(s) are enabled). Added test for creating a new dataset with a filter that is not available. Added test for attempting to read a dataset created with a filter that is not available. Platforms tested: Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++) modi4 (parallel, fortran)} FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
* [svn-r6089] MuQun Yang2002-11-131-0/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purpose: Add a testing case for shuffling algorithm. Description: A control test: Since shuffling 8-bit array should not change the original result; so we use a 8-bit array to test whether after shuffling the array keeps the same values. Solution: Platforms tested: eirene,arabica,modi4 Misc. update: Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file. Update release_docs/RELEASE for bug fixes, new features, etc. Update applicable document files too.

* [svn-r5807] Purpose:Bill Wendling2002-07-171-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update, Bug Fix, and Feature Add Description: - Updated how AC_{ENABLE,WITH} help messages were being generated. Autoconf now gives you an AC_HELP_STRING macro to use to create them. - Fixed the problem with Linux LFS on RedHat 7.3 machines. It wasn't finding getdents64(), so we can't rely on that being present anymore... - Added GPFS detection and setting. - Updated how compression is specified. It's no longer necessary to test for HAVE_ZLIB_H, HAVE_LIBZ, and HAVE_COMPRESS2. The one macro {H5_}HAVE_COMPRESSION takes care of all of these. Solution: Changed the check for Linux LFS from looking for getdents() to looking at the version number of the kernel (using the uname -r command). You can still override with the --enable-linux-lfs switch if you really believe that your <2.4 kernel has LFS support. Platforms tested: Linux (2.2 and 2.4)

* [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
* [svn-r4643] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-11-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-r4517] Raymond Lu2001-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | Purpose: Changed to the new generic property list for dataset creation property list. Platforms tested: Arabica, modi4 and Hawkwind
* [svn-r4482] Purpose:Quincey Koziol2001-09-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kludge Description: Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the APIs settled down. Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old and new property lists smoothly. Solution: Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle dealing with both the old and new property lists Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
