<h1>Performance Analysis and Issues</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This section includes brief discussions of performance issues
|
|
in HDF5 and performance analysis tools for HDF5 or pointers to
|
|
such discussions.
|
|
|
|
<h2>2. Dataset Chunking</h2>
|
|
|
|
Appropriate dataset chunking can make a siginificant difference
|
|
in HDF5 performance. This topic is discussed in
|
|
<a href="Chunking.html">Dataset Chunking Issues</a> elsewhere
|
|
in this <cite>User's Guide</cite>.
|
|
|
|
<h2>3. Use of the Pablo Instrumentation of HDF5</h2>
|
|
|
|
Pablo HDF5 Trace software provides a means of measuring the
|
|
performance of programs using HDF5.
|
|
|
|
<p>The Pablo software consists
|
|
of an instrumented copy of the HDF5 library, the Pablo Trace and
|
|
Trace Extensions libraries, and some utilities for processing the
|
|
output. The instrumented version of the HDF5 library has hooks
|
|
inserted into the HDF5 code which call routines in the Pablo Trace
|
|
library just after entry to each instrumented HDF5 routine and
|
|
just prior to exit from the routine. The Pablo Trace Extension
|
|
library has programs that track the I/O activity between the
|
|
entry and exit of the HDF5 routine during execution.
|
|
|
|
<p>A few lines of code must be inserted in the user's main program
|
|
to enable tracing and to specify which HDF5 procedures are to be
|
|
traced. The program is linked with the special HDF5 and Pablo
|
|
libraries to produce an executable. Running this executable on
|
|
a single processor produces an output file called the trace file
|
|
which contains records, called Pablo Self-Defining Data Format
|
|
(SDDF) records, which can later be analyzed using the
|
|
HDF5 Analysis Utilities. The HDF5 Analysis Utilites can be used
|
|
to interpret the SDDF records in the trace files to produce a
|
|
report describing the HDF5 IO activity that occurred during
|
|
execution.
|
|
|
|
<p>For further instructions, see the file <code>READ_ME</code>
|
|
in the <code> $(toplevel)/hdf5/pablo/ </code> subdirectory of
|
|
the HDF5 source code distribution.
|
|
|
|
<p>For further information about Pablo and the
|
|
Self-Defining Data Format, visit the Pablo website at
