Attached are three OpenMP-HDF5 test programs. The purpose of these tests is to experience OpenMP parallelism with HDF5. All the tests were run on modi4 with SGI MPISpro compiler(cc) and make. The first one is the working program. The two following only work occasionally. I modify them directly from hdf5/examples/h5_write.c. If you want to try them out, the quickest way is 1. have your hdf5 program compiled, 2. go to hdf5/examples directory, 3. add -mp option to the end of the CFLAGS list in the Makefile. If you have the compiled program in another directory, you should go to the examples in that directory. 4. modify the hdf5/examples/h5_write.c according to the program attached here. 5. use hdf5/tools/h5dump to examine the output file.
