 * Purpose: Calulate a hyperslab from a dataset for higher performance.

 *          Return the hyperslab dimentions and size in byte.

 * Parameters:

 *   rank_dset : [IN] dataset rank
 *   dims_dset[] : [IN] dataset dimentions
 *   size_datum : [IN] size of a data element in byte
 *   dims_hslab[] : [OUT] calculated hyperslab dimentions
 *   * hslab_nbytes_p : [OUT] total byte of the hyperslab
 *
 * Update:
 *   The hyperslab calucation would be depend on if the dataset is chunked
 *   or not.
 *
 *   There care 3 conditions to cover:
 *   1. If chunked and a chunk fits in buffer, each chunk would be a unit of
 *      collection and the boundary would be dataset's dims.
 *   2. If chunked but a chunk doesn't fit in buffer, each data element would
 *      be a unit of collection and the boundary would be the chunk itself.
 *   3. If not chunked, each data element would be a unit of collection and
 *      the boundary would be dataset's dims.
 *
 *   The calulation starts from the last dimention (h5dump dims output).

 *  A threshold of H5TOOLS_MALLOCSIZE (128 MB) is the limit upon which I/O hyperslab is done
 *  i.e., if the memory needed to read a dataset is greater than this limit,
 *  then hyperslab I/O is done instead of one operation I/O
 *  For each dataset, the memory needed is calculated according to
 *
 *  memory needed = number of elements * size of each element
 *
 *  if the memory needed is lower than H5TOOLS_MALLOCSIZE, then the following operations
 *  are done
 *
 *  H5Dread( input_dataset1 )
 *  H5Dread( input_dataset2 )
 *
 *  with all elements in the datasets selected. If the memory needed is greater than
 *  H5TOOLS_MALLOCSIZE, then the following operations are done instead:
 *
 *  a strip mine is defined for each dimension k (a strip mine is defined as a
 *  hyperslab whose size is memory manageable) according to the formula
 *
 *  (1) strip_mine_size[k ] = MIN(dimension[k ], H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE / size of memory type)
 *
 *  where H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE is a constant currently defined as 1MB. This formula assures
 *  that for small datasets (small relative to the H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE constant), the strip
 *  mine size k is simply defined as its dimension k, but for larger datasets the
 *  hyperslab size is still memory manageable.
 *  a cycle is done until the number of elements in the dataset is reached. In each
 *  iteration, two parameters are defined for the function H5Sselect_hyperslab,
 *  the start and size of each hyperslab, according to
 *
 *  (2) hyperslab_size [k] = MIN(dimension[k] - hyperslab_offset[k], strip_mine_size [k])
 *
 *  where hyperslab_offset [k] is initially set to zero, and later incremented in
 *  hyperslab_size[k] offsets. The reason for the operation
 *
 *  dimension[k] - hyperslab_offset[k]
 *
 *  in (2) is that, when using the strip mine size, it assures that the "remaining" part
 *  of the dataset that does not fill an entire strip mine is processed.
 *
 *  1. figure out a hyperslab (dimentions) and size  (refer to get_hyperslab()).
 *  2. Calculate the hyperslab selections as the selection is moving forward.
 *     Selection would be same as the hyperslab except for the remaining edge portion
 *     of the dataset. The code take care of the remaining portion if exist.
