On June 26, 2020, The HDF Group employee, Scot Breitenfeld presented a webinar called “Parallel I/O with HDF5 and Performance Tuning Techniques.”
Scheduled for June 26, 2020 11:00 a.m. CDT, this webinar, presented by Scot Breitenfeld is designed for users who have had exposure to HDF5 and MPI I/O and would like to learn about doing parallel I/O with the HDF5 library.
Damaris is a middleware that enriches existing HPC data format libraries (e.g. HDF5) with data aggregation and asynchronous data management capabilities. At the same time, it can be employed for in situ analysis and visualization purposes.
Mark Miller, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Guest Blogger The HDF5 library has supported the I/O requirements of HPC codes at Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL) since the late 90’s. In particular, HDF5 used in the Multiple Independent File (MIF) parallel I/O paradigm has supported LLNL code’s scalable I/O requirements and has recently been gainfully used
single write/multiple read, virtual dataset, scalable chunk indexing, free file space tracking, collective metadata I/O
Mohamad Chaarawi, The HDF Group Second in a series: Parallel HDF5 In my previous blog post, I discussed the need for parallel I/O and a few paradigms for doing parallel I/O from applications. HDF5 is an I/O middleware library that supports (or will support in the near future) most of the I/O paradigms we talked
The current improvement of using collective I/O to reduce the number of independent processes accessing the file system helped to improve the metadata reads for cgp_open substantially, yielding 100-1000 times faster execution times over the previous implementation.

Mohamad Chaarawi, The HDF Group First in a series: parallel HDF5 What costs applications a lot of time and resources rather than doing actual computation? Slow I/O. It is well known that I/O subsystems are very slow compared to other parts of a computing system. Applications use I/O to store simulation output for future use
The workshop program has two main tracks, one on HPC-oriented technologies that support the industry, and one on oil & gas technologies and how they can leverage HPC.
