So it now becomes the first default test server to try.
This also means that the dap4 remote testing is enabled.
The only issue to watch is to see if the jetstream-based
server can stay up for significant periods of time.
A uptimerobot (https://uptimerobot.com) has been set ups
to monitor this hourly, so we shall see.
corresponding HDF5 operations.
re: github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/908
also in reference to https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/2004
The netcdf-c library has implemented the nc_get_vars and nc_put_vars
operations as element at a time. This has resulted in very slow
operation.
This pr attempts to improve the situation for netcdf-4/hdf5 files
by using the slab operations provided by the hdf5 library. The new
implementation passes the get/put vars stride information down to
the hdf5 slab operations.
The result appears to improve performance significantly. Some simple
tests on large 2-D arrays shows speedups in excess of 150.
Misc. other changes:
1. fix bug in ncgen/semantics.c; using a list's allocated length
instead of actual length.
2. Added a temporary hook in the netcdf library plus a performance
test case (tst_varsperf.c) to estimate the speedup. After users
have had some experience with this, I will remove it, probably
after the 4.7 release.
2. Factored out the parameter string parsing for ncgen and nccopy
int libdispatch/dfilter.c + include/ncfilter.h
3. Allow a parameter string to use constant types other than
unsigned int. See docs/filters.md for details.
4. Moved the old content of include/netcdf_filter.h into include/netcdf.h
and removed include/netcdf_filter.h as no longer needed.
5. Force the test filter (bzip2) in nc_test4/filter_test to
be built using BUILT_SOURCES.
