Bug patch
Description:
pio_xxx.c will fail compiling in serial mode.
I temporary disable the compile of the pio-perform code from
the Makefile. Will fix it after sunday.
Platforms tested:
eirene (serial).
New addition
Description:
Initial version of the Parallel I/O performance measurement program.
Not fully implemented yet but checking them in before I may destroy
them by accident.
Don't run this in small file system (like AFS or eirene) since it
generates gigabytes test files.
Platforms tested:
modi4 64bits. It compiled and ran but took a long time because
the current test parametes are too "wild".
Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanup for better compatibility with C++ compilers
Description:
C++ compilers are choking on our C code, for various reasons:
we used our UNUSED macro incorrectly when referring to pointer types
we used various C++ keywords as variables, etc.
we incremented enum's with the ++ operator.
Solution:
Changed variables, etc.to avoid C++ keywords (new, class, typename, typeid,
template)
Fixed usage of UNUSED macro from this:
char UNUSED *c
to this:
char * UNUSED c
Switched the enums from x++ to x=x+1
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Bug fix
Description:
Added the condition that Parallel programs are dependent on
the hdf5 library too.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), modi4(serial and parallel).
New feature.
Description:
Test programs were assumed to be serial programs only.
There was no provision to test parallel programs automatically.
Solution:
Added $(TEST_PARA_PROGS) to hold parallel test programs and
added appropriate action entry to test them if defined.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (parallel).
Bug fix.
Description:
The default file name used is /foo/test.out that usually
is not legal. Changed it to /tmp/test.out.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel).
bug fix
Description:
Could not get to compile as parallel program in parallel mode.
That was because I did not include hdf5.h before testing for the
H5_HAVE_PARALLEL macro. (DUMB!)
Solution:
#include hdf5.h first.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel)
Bug fix
Description:
Included all those generated temporary files in the CLEAN target
so that they would be cleaned in "make clean".
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
Was using old-style property list for dataset transfer.
Solution:
Switched to use generic property list code for dataset transfer proplist.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New feature
Description:
Started this directory for performance measurement programs.
The programs here got compiled but not automatically run (just
like the examples direcotry.)
The programs have existed but now gathered to this one directory.
iopipe.c, chunk.c and overhead.c were from test. perf.c and mpi-perf.c
were from testpar.
Platforms tested:
eirene (serial and parallel).
overhead failed during run due to some property error. This is probably
due to the recent change of properties code.
perf and mpi-perf do not compile correctly for Parallel mode.
Checking them to make them available to others.
