Dear NERSC users,

  HDF5 1.4.4 has been installed on the IBM SP,  Cray T3E,  Cray PVP
 cluster,and the Visualization Server. This release of the HDF5
  library has been extensively tuned to improve performance, especially
  to improve parallel I/O performance. For more details, see the
  HDF5 1.4.4 Release Notes:

    http://hpcf.nersc.gov/software/libs/io/hdf5/release-notes-1.4.4.txt


   On Seaborg, Mcurie and Escher, both  "serial" and "parallel" HDF5
   versions are available.  The PVP cluster supports only the "serial"
   version.

   To access the new version, for serial use: "module load hdf5/1.4.4"
   and for parallel use: "module load hdf5_par/1.4.4".

   Unless problems are found, this version will become the
   default on Sept 17, 2002.  The current version, 1.4.x,
   will be disabled on Oct 8, 2002 and deleted soon
   thereafter.

   Harsh Anand
