Purpose: Improvement
Description: HDF5 Library set pixels_per_scanline parameter to the size of the chunk's
fastest changing dimension. As a result, fastest changing dimension
of the chunk could not be bigger than 4K and smaller than pixels_per_block
value and szip compression couldn't be used for many real datasets.
Solution: Reworked algorithm how HDF5 sets pixels_per_scanline value; only chunks
with the total number of elements less than pixels_per_block value are rejected.
There is no restriction on the size of the chunk's fastest changing
dimension anymore.
Modified the test according to the new algorithm.
Platforms tested: verbena, copper, sol
Misc. update:
HDF5 version 1.7.32 currently under development
Please refer to the release_docs/INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library. The INSTALL* files can be found in the release_docs/ directory.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that directory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5
Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.
The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/
Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
