Advanced HDF5 Features

This Tutorial 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, chunked storage layout, and compression. Participants will then be given a sample program using HDF5, which shows poor performance, and will be asked to investigate the reasons for the poor performance. They will then modify the program to improve performance without changing its functionality. We may also cover additional topics requested by the Workshop participants.
