<p class="interdd">The trace file is a debugging feature that allow the capture of top level metadata cache requests for purposes of debugging and/or optimization. This field should normally be set to <code>FALSE</code>, as trace file collection imposes considerable overhead.</p>
<p class="enddd">This field should only be set to <code>TRUE</code> when the trace_file_name contains the full path of the desired trace file, and either there is no open trace file on the cache, or the <code>close_trace_file</code> field is also <code>TRUE</code>. </p>

<dl class="section user"><dt>evictions_enabled</dt><dd><p class="startdd">Boolean field used to either report the current evictions enabled status of the cache, or to set the cache's evictions enabled status.</p>
<p class="interdd">In general, the metadata cache should always be allowed to evict entries. However, in some cases it is advantageous to disable evictions briefly, and thereby postpone metadata writes. However, this must be done with care, as the cache can grow quickly. If you do this, re-enable evictions as soon as possible and monitor cache size.</p>
<p class="enddd">At present, evictions can only be disabled if automatic cache resizing is also disabled (that is, <code>(incr_mode == H5C_incr__off ) &amp;&amp; ( decr_mode == H5C_decr__off )</code>). There is no logical reason why this should be so, but it simplifies implementation and testing, and I can't think of any reason why it would be desirable. If you can think of one, I'll revisit the issue. (JM) </p>

<dl class="section user"><dt>set_initial_size</dt><dd>Boolean flag indicating whether the size of the initial size of the cache is to be set to the value given in the initial_size field. If set_initial_size is <code>FALSE</code>, the initial_size field is ignored.</dd></dl>

Cache size increase control fields</h1>
<dl class="section user"><dt>incr_mode</dt><dd>Instance of the <code>H5C_cache_incr_mode</code> enumerated type whose value indicates how we determine whether the cache size should be increased. At present there are two possible values: <ul>
<li><code>H5C_incr__off:</code> Don't attempt to increase the size of the cache automatically.<br  />
 When this increment mode is selected, the remaining fields in the cache size increase section ar ignored. </li>
<li><code>H5C_incr__threshold:</code> Attempt to increase the size of the cache whenever the average hit rate over the last epoch drops below the value supplied in the <code>lower_hr_threshold</code> field.<br  />
 Note that this attempt will fail if the cache is already at its maximum size, or if the cache is not already using all available space.</li>
</ul>
Note that you must set <code>decr_mode</code> to <code>H5C_incr__off</code> if you disable metadata cache entry evictions.</dd></dl>
<dl class="section user"><dt>lower_hr_threshold</dt><dd><p class="startdd">Lower hit rate threshold. If the increment mode (<code>incr_mode</code>) is <code>H5C_incr__threshold</code> and the hit rate drops below the value supplied in this field in an epoch, increment the cache size by <code>size_increment</code>. Note that cache size may not be incremented above <code>max_size</code>, and that the increment may be further restricted by the <code>max_increment</code> field if it is enabled.</p>
<p class="enddd">When enabled, this field must contain a value in the range [0.0, 1.0]. Depending on the <code>incr_mode</code> selected, it may also have to be less than <code>upper_hr_threshold</code>. </p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="section user"><dt>increment</dt><dd><p class="startdd">Double containing the multiplier used to derive the new cache size from the old if a cache size increment is triggered. The increment must be greater than 1.0, and should not exceed 2.0.</p>
<p class="enddd">The new cache size is obtained my multiplying the current max cache size by the increment, and then clamping to <code>max_size</code> and to stay within the <code>max_increment</code> as necessary. </p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="section user"><dt>apply_max_increment</dt><dd>Boolean flag indicating whether the <code>max_increment</code> field should be used to limit the maximum cache size increment.</dd></dl>
<dl class="section user"><dt>max_increment</dt><dd>If enabled by the <code>apply_max_increment</code> field described above, this field contains the maximum number of bytes by which the cache size can be increased in a single re-size.</dd></dl>
<dl class="section user"><dt>flash_incr_mode</dt><dd><p class="startdd">Instance of the <code>H5C_cache_flash_incr_mode</code> enumerated type whose value indicates whether and by which algorithm we should make flash increases in the size of the cache to accommodate insertion of large entries and large increases in the size of a single entry.</p>
<p class="interdd">The addition of the flash increment mode was occasioned by performance problems that appear when a local heap is increased to a size in excess of the current cache size. While the existing re-size code dealt with this eventually, performance was very bad for the remainder of the epoch.</p>
<p class="interdd">At present, there are two possible values for the <code>flash_incr_mode:</code> </p>
<ul>
<li><code>H5C_flash_incr__off:</code> Don't perform flash increases in the size of the cache.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><code>H5C_flash_incr__add_space:</code> Let <code>x</code> be either the size of a newly newly inserted entry, or the number of bytes by which the size of an existing entry has been increased.<br  />
 If <code>x &gt; flash_threshold * current max cache size</code>, increase the current maximum cache size by <code>x * flash_multiple</code> less any free space in the cache, and star a new epoch. For now at least, pay no attention to the maximum increment.</li>
</ul>
<p>In both of the above cases, the flash increment pays no attention to the maximum increment (at least in this first incarnation), but DOES stay within max_size.</p>
<p class="interdd">With a little thought, it should be obvious that the above flash cache size increase algorithm is not sufficient for all circumstances &ndash; for example, suppose the user round robins through <code>(1/flash_threshold) +1</code> groups, adding one data set to each on each pass. Then all will increase in size at about the same time, requiring the max cache size to at least double to maintain acceptable performance, however the above flash increment algorithm will not be triggered.</p>
<p class="enddd">Hopefully, the add space algorithms detailed above will be sufficient for the performance problems encountered to date. However, we should expect to revisit the issue. </p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="section user"><dt>flash_multiple</dt><dd>Double containing the multiple described above in the <code>H5C_flash_incr__add_space</code> section of the discussion of the <code>flash_incr_mode</code> section.

<li><code>H5C_decr__off:</code> Don't attempt to decrease the size of the cache automatically.<br  />
 When this increment mode is selected, the remaining fields in the cache size decrease section are ignored. </li>
<li><code>H5C_decr__threshold:</code> Attempt to decrease the size of the cache whenever the average hit rate over the last epoch rises above the value supplied in the <code>upper_hr_threshold</code> field. </li>
<li><code>H5C_decr__age_out:</code> At the end of each epoch, search the cache for entries that have not been accessed for at least the number of epochs specified in the epochs_before_eviction field, and evict these entries. Conceptually, the maximum cache size is then decreased to match the new actual cache size.

<li><code>H5C_decr__age_out_with_threshold:</code> Same as age_out, but we only attempt to reduce the cache size when the hit rate observed over the last epoch exceeds the value provided in the <code>upper_hr_threshold</code> field.</li>

Parallel Configuration Fields</h1>
<p>In PHDF5, all operations that modify metadata must be executed collectively.</p>
<p>We used to think that this was enough to ensure consistency across the metadata caches, but since we allow processes to read metadata individually, the order of dirty entries in the LRU list can vary across processes, which can result in inconsistencies between the caches.</p>
<p>PHDF5 uses several strategies to prevent such inconsistencies in metadata, all of which use the fact that the same stream of dirty metadata is seen by all processes for purposes of synchronization. This is done by having each process count the number of bytes of dirty metadata generated, and then running a "sync point" whenever this count exceeds a user specified threshold (see <code>dirty_bytes_threshold</code> below).</p>

 When metadata_write_strategy is set to this value, only process zero is allowed to write dirty metadata to disk. All other processes must retain dirty metadata until they are informed at a sync point that the dirty metadata in question has been written to disk.<br  />
 When the sync point is reached (or when there is a user generated flush), process zero flushes sufficient entries to bring it into compliance with its min clean size (or flushes all dirty entries in the case of a user generated flush), broad casts the list of entries just cleaned to all the other processes, and then exits the sync point.<br  />
 Upon receipt of the broadcast, the other processes mark the indicated entries as clean, and leave the sync point as well.</li>

<li><a class="el" href="_h5_a_cpublic_8h.html#af7cea0f4927dfafa3017a34e2b84cce3">H5AC_METADATA_WRITE_STRATEGY__DISTRIBUTED</a><br  />
 In the distributed metadata write strategy, process zero still makes the decisions as to what entries should be flushed, but the actual flushes are distributed across the processes in the computation to the extent possible.<br  />
 In this strategy, when a sync point is triggered (either by dirty metadata creation or manual flush), all processes enter a barrier.<br  />
 On the other side of the barrier, process 0 constructs an ordered list of the entries to be flushed, and then broadcasts this list to the caches in all the processes.<br  />
 All processes then scan the list of entries to be flushed, flushing some, and marking the rest as clean. The algorithm for this purpose ensures that each entry in the list is flushed exactly once, and all are marked clean in each cache.<br  />
 Note that in the case of a flush of the cache, no message passing is necessary, as all processes have the same list of dirty entries, and all of these entries must be flushed. Thus in this case it is sufficient for each process to sort its list of dirty entries after leaving the initial barrier, and use this list as if it had been received from process zero.<br  />
 To avoid possible messages from the past/future, all caches must wait until all caches are done before leaving the sync point. </li>
