HDF5 I/O Library at NERSC

The HDF5 I/O library is available at NERSC. Please note HDF and HDF5 are two different products. HDF5 is a complete redesign of the format and library with improved support for parallel I/O. HDF, the original Hierarchical Data Format, currently in Release 4.1r5 (HDF 4.x) will remain on the systems and will be maintained, however, only minimal new features may be added by the developer. Users with new applications are encouraged to start using the HDF5 library. It currently supports C, Fortran 90 and C++ interfaces and utilities for analyzing HDF5 files. For introduction to this library, visit the NCSA website

The HDF5 file format is not compatible with HDF 4.x versions. 'h5toh4' and 'h4toh5' converters are available on all the NERSC machines.
