Dear Parallel-NetCDF users,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m Louis Monier, a young undergraduate from France who joined Zhiming Kuang’s research group in Harvard university for 4 months (internship). I’m working on the optimization of a code (related to atmospheric modelling) with the use of parallel
NetCDF to speed up the output process. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m a beginner in parallel computing. I would have a important question for you. I can’t find a clear answer on the internet: </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">I’ve seen on the Parallel-NetCDF web site (<a href="http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/parallel-netcdf" class="">http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/parallel-netcdf</a>) that starting from version 4.4.0, the NetCDF library
includes<span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><font face="Verdana, Arial, Bitstream Vera Sans, Helvetica, sans-serif" class=""> both sequential and parallel access. So here is my question: </font></span></div>
<div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><font face="Verdana, Arial, Bitstream Vera Sans, Helvetica, sans-serif" class="">If I want to speed up my output process using a
NetCDF file with a parallel write process, should I use the PNETCDF library or NETCDF library (starting from version 4.4.0) ? </font></span></div>
<div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><font face="Verdana, Arial, Bitstream Vera Sans, Helvetica, sans-serif" class="">In other words, is PNETCDF library included in
NETCDF library from version 4.4.0 ? </font></span></div>
<div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><font face="Verdana, Arial, Bitstream Vera Sans, Helvetica, sans-serif" class=""><br class="">

examples. Some are using NETCDF library, other are using PNETCDF library. I don’t which one is best to use. </font></span></div>
