HDF5 is a completely new Hierarchical Data Format product consisting of a data
|
|
format specification and a supporting library implementation. HDF5 is designed
|
|
to address some of the limitations of the older HDF product and to address
|
|
current and anticipated requirements of modern systems and applications.
|
|
|
|
HDF5 includes the following improvements:
|
|
- A new file format designed to address some of the deficiencies of HDF4.x,
|
|
particularly the need to store larger files and more objects per file.
|
|
- A simpler, more comprehensive data model that includes only two basic
|
|
structures: a multidimensional array of record structures, and a grouping
|
|
structure.
|
|
- A simpler, better-engineered library and API, with improved support for
|
|
parallel I/O, threads, and other requirements imposed by modern systems
|
|
and applications.
|
|
|
|
Note: two releases of HDF5 are available. HDF5-1.10 can read files created with
|
|
earlier releases, but earlier releases such as HDF5-1.8 may not be able to read
|
|
HDF5-1.10 files. If you need the latest, please see the port science/hdf5.
