New feature
Description:
Add support for scalar dataspaces in parallel I/O.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
Also, FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel
Misc. update:
Update release_docs/RELEASE for bug fixes, new features, etc.
Code cleanup
Description:
Cleaned up some compiler warnings.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) w/serial & parallel. Will be testing on IRIX64
6.5 (modi4) in serial & parallel shortly.
Users were alarmed by the OFFSET overflow and GB file size tests.
Those tests only checks the limits of the MPI implementation, not
really as an error.
Solution:
Changed the VRFY macro to indicate it is an "ERROR".
Modified the INFO macro to print messages as "REMARK (not an error)"
so that users would not be alarmed.
Added an explanation string in the GB file size write/read.
Platforms tested:
eirene and modi4 (parallel)
New test feature
Description:
Added create_faccess_plist() that create just MPIO or split+MPIO
file-access property list. This in turn can run parallel tests
with just MPIO or with Split-file VFD too.
Added -s option for split-file Plus MPIO tests.
For testphdf5.c: removed a bunch of old debug code that got left
in by mistake.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 and eirene parallel.
But it has uncovered errors in the library. The test program
is correct though. Checking the test program in so that it won't
get lost and can be used for debugging. Also, the -s is not used
by default during test. At least it won't abort "make check".
Bug fix
Description:
The t_mpi used to fail and exit if any error detected.
That aborted other process in a "make check" situation.
Solution:
Introduced a new error verification as INFO. INFO is for
information only. It does not increase nerrors count.
The program always exits with 0.
Platforms tested:
eirene with mpich.
Improvement
Description:
Changed the default value of $NPROCS from 2 to 3. This is the
value libSAF uses since 3 processes have a much bigger chance
catching parallel errors than just 2 processes.
Changed the default dataset sizes from 800 to 1200 so that it is
a multiple for 3 (and 8 too which is ofter used in the Tflops test.)
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (IRIX64) both serial and parallel modes.
New features
Description:
Some testers found the filename lengths too short.
Changed it to use the FILENAME_MAX usually defined in stdio.h.
If not, set it to 512 which should be sufficient for users
but should not exceed any system limits.
Also added a new test parameters of ndatasets so that the tester
can specific a different number of datasets for the multiple
datasets tests.
Changed the datatype of datasets created to DOUBLE. This eliminates
the current racing conditions. But the racing bugs during conversion
still need to be tracked down and squashed.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 -64.
Simple changes
Description:
testphdf5.h:
Call MPI_Abort when error is detected. MPI_Finalized was used
before but it might hang if the test has already encountered errors.
Also, it does not do the H5Eprint any more since auto report is on.
t_mdest.c:
Changed the variable name of rank and nprocs to mpi_rank and mpi_size
so that it is the same with the other tests and can use the VRFY macro
call.
Platforms tested:
modi4-64.
Features, kind of.
Description:
Separated the MPI features test into its own independent
program so that it can be tested on its own without too
much HDF5 stuff involved.
Added automatic removal of temporary test files after
the tests completed.
Reduced the size of the dataset dimensions to avoid tripping
the SGI MPI problems of running out of internal mpi type entries.
Platforms tested:
O2K -64
Added features
Description:
There were no automatic tests for transfering zero elements.
Solution:
t_dset.c:
Added two new patterns of ZROW (zero rows for process 0)
and ZCOL(zero columns for process 0).
ZROW test was added but it failed because the current library
does not accept it. Not compiled in now. Need to fix the
library before turning it back on again and also to add the
ZCOL test.
t_mdset.c:
Added statement to show progress. Also the MPI_Barrier() call
get processes synchornoized. It eliminates the racing condition
but this is not a permenant solution. The library code needs to
be fixed.
testphdf5.c:
Added a bunch of MPI_Type_XXX debug code. Added the -md
option to skip the multiple datasets tests. Changed the cosmitic
appearance of the banner messages.
testphdf5.h:
When an error is detected, the old way was to call MPI_Finalize()
before exiting. This sometimes hangs because some processes
may be waiting for a message of a different tag. Changed to
call MPI_Abort() for now so that the whole MPI job would
abort rather than hanging due resource limits exceeded.
Added the definition of ZROW and ZCOL.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 -64.
Makefile.in:
Added test/ as one of the -I directories to search for header files.
Needed because <h5test.h> is used.
t_file.c t_mpi.c testphdf5.c testphdf5.h:
Added FILENAME to meet the assumption in h5test.h. (May use
CLEANUP in the future.) Moved the prefix setting to the
h5_fixname().
Removed the unnecessary #include of mpi.h and mpio.h. (They are
included already in H5public.h when applicable.) Changed couple
debug printing to be controlled like the others.
src/H5public.h:
Officially, mpio.h should be in mpi.h but MPIO are not always
supported by the vendor yet. Make the #include of mpio.h conditional
when it is not in mpi.h.
testpar/testphdf5.h:
Removed the unnecessary #include of mpi.h and mpio.h. (They are
included already in H5public.h when applicable.)
Changed it to skip the test instead of aborting when there is not
enough processes to do the test. Also corrected an error in the
error reporting printf statement.
t_dset.c:
testphdf5.c:
testphdf5.h:
Added option for specifying chunk dimensions.
new feature
Makefile.in:
Added the dependence of *.c on the testphdf5.h
t_dset.c:
testphdf5.c:
testphdf5.h:
testphdf5 now takes optional arguements for dataset dimension sizes.
That allows testing with different dimension sizes without recompiling
the whole thing.
Platform tested:
O2K
