Purpose:
[is this a bug fix? feature? ...]
Description:
[describe the bug, or describe the new feature, etc]
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]

Welcome to the HDF5 Tutorial provided by the HDF User Support Group.
|
|
<P>
|
|
HDF5 is a file format and library for storing scientific data.
|
|
It was designed and implemented
|
|
to meet growing and ever-changing scientific data-storage
|
|
and data-handling needs,
|
|
to take advantage of the power and features of today's
|
|
computing systems, and
|
|
to address the deficiencies of HDF4.x.
|
|
HDF5 has a powerful and flexible data model,
|
|
supports files larger than 2 GB (the limit of HDF4.x files), and
|
|
supports parallel I/O.
|
|
Thread-safety is designed and is to be implemented in the near future.
|
|
For a short overview of the HDF5 data model, library, and tools, see
|
|
the slide presentation at the following URL:

|
|
</PRE>
|
|
This tutorial covers the basic HDF5 data objects and file structure,
|
|
the HDF5 programming model, and the API functions necessary for creating and
|
|
modifying data objects. It also introduces the available HDF5 tools for accessing
|
|
HDF5 files.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The examples used in this tutorial, along with a Makefile to compile them,
|
|
can be found in <A HREF="./examples/">./examples/</A>. You can also download
|
|
a <A HREF="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/training/other-ex5/examples.tar">tar
|
|
file</A> with the examples and Makefile.
|
|
To use the Makefile, you may have to edit it and update the
|
|
compiler and compiler options, as well as the path for the HDF5
|
|
binary distribution.
|
|
The Java examples can be found in
|
|
a subdirectory of the ./examples/ directory called java/. The java/
|
|
directory contains a Makefile and shell scripts for running the java
|
|
programs.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Please check the <A HREF="references.html">References</A> for pointers to
|
|
other examples of HDF5 Programs.
|
|
<P>
|
|
We hope that the step-by-step examples and instructions will give you a quick
|
|
start with HDF5.
|
|
<P>
