I guess the last 2 columns are bandwidth and time.
What is each row?

File striping size of 128 MB seems too big to me.
I have never tried anything larger than 16 MB and
learned that large sizes often performed worse.
striping_unit=134217728
Have you tried just 1 MB?

From the file header dump you sent earlier, no PnetCDF hint is necessary.
What MPI-IO hints are you using?
I am now using:
MPICH_MPIIO_HINTS=*:romio_cb_read=enable:romio_cb_write=enable:striping_factor=48:striping_unit=134217728
we explored the parameter space and this seems to be about the best for this particular file. But I think that there is still something
wrong at a low level and am working on trying to figure that out.
One question. Did you delete the output file before each run?
Yes

We are having a lot of problems with darshan on our system - I'm working with the darshan developers to resolve.
I am setting MPIIO hints - but I see that there are some hints specific to pnetcdf - do you have any recommendations?

Hi, Jim
FYI. Darshan now can capture the I/O activities of PnetCDF,
in addition to the already MPI-IO and POSIX-IO.

I think that your example case is too simple - it's doing a simple block decomposition.
In order to get the performance difference I am observing I need to do a more complicated
mapping. I will work on a program that reproduces the problem without pio but it may take a
while.
