Hi all, <div><br></div><div>I was using VecView() to write the data to file (a vector of total size 50*20*10 (3D DMDA)). </div><div>I compared the times for two cases: PETSc's binary and also HDF5. </div><div>I get an enormous difference between the times I get for these two cases (this test is done using only one processor)</div>
<div><br></div><div>HDF5: 16.2 (sec)</div><div>Binary: 0.33 (sec). </div><div><br></div><div>I am using HDF5 VecView() as a magic black box writer to dump the field quantities. And I am not an expert on it but this order of magnitude seems a bit strange to me. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Any inputs are appreciated! </div><div>Best, </div><div>Mohamad</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
