Release information for parallel HDF5 ------------------------------------- +) Current release supports independent access to fixed dimension datasets only. +) The comm and info arguments of H5Pset_mpi are not used. All parallel I/O are done via MPI_COMM_WORLD. Access_mode for H5Pset_mpi can be H5ACC_INDEPENDENT only. +) This release of parallel HDF5 has been tested on IBM SP2 and SGI Origin 2000 systems. It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface for parallel I/O supports. +) Useful URL's.
