VERSION 6.2.16
- Via Sean Freeman, we have updated HDF5 I/O routines for upgrading from hdf5-1.8.9 to hdf5-
1.10.x. Only newer hdf5 versions are available on some supercomputing systems, so the upgrade
was necessary. - New flag for using hdf5 with parallel compression. This feature can be turned on in the
“include.mk” compile file. At this time, this should be considered experimental because
sometimes parallel compression simply does not work. If it fails at runtime, it will fail at the first
model analysis file write time. So you can try it out and know right away if it will function or
not. - Sean Freeman also updated the hdf5 file/variable chunking size determination for better
optimization.
