This Tutorial is designed for the HDF5 users with some HDF5 experience. It will cover advanced features of the HDF5 library for achieving better I/O performance and efficient storage. The following HDF5 features will be discussed: partial I/O, compression and other filters including new n-bit and scale+offset filters, and data storage options. Significant time will be devoted to the discussion of complex HDF5 datatypes such as strings, variable-length, array and compound datatypes.
