<div style="direction:ltr">It's simply for visualization purposes. I wasn't sure if HDF5 would perform better than binary, and what specific functions are needed to load the PETSc vectors/matrices, so wanted to ask for some advice here. Since Matt mentioned
it's not likely to be much faster than binary, I guess there is no need to make the change?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">So running h5read will load the vector from the hdf5 file directly to a Matlab vector? And similarly so for matrices?</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'm not sure exactly what you want to do but I use Matlab to work with and visualize HDF5 files from PETSc all the time. Matlab has h5info and h5read routines, then I visualize with my own routines. Is there
something specific you need from Matlab?</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently we’re using the PETSc binary file format to save Vecs and Mats and visualize them in Matlab. It looks like HDF5 works more efficiently with large data sets (faster I/O), and we’re wondering if PETSc Vecs/Mats saved in HDF5 viewer
can be visualized in Matlab as well?<u></u><u></u></p>
