Using HDF5 with OpenMP
----------------------
I. Introduction to OpenMP
- For shared-memory parallelism
- A combination of library and directives
- Available for C/C++ and Fortran
- SGI leading effort
- Information at http://www.openmp.org and
http://www.sgi.com/software/openmp
II. Programming(SGI MPISpro compiler and C language)
- Turn on compiler '-mp' option
- Include 'omp.h' library in program
- Use library functions, directives and environment variables
III. Sample Programs
Attached are three OpenMP-HDF5 test programs. The purpose of these tests is to
experience OpenMP parallelism with HDF5. All the tests were run on modi4 with
SGI MPISpro compiler(cc) and make. The first one is the working
program. The two following only work occasionally. I modify them directly
from hdf5/examples/h5_write.c. If you want to try them out, the quickest way
is
1. have your hdf5 program compiled,
2. go to hdf5/examples directory,
3. add -mp option to the end of the CFLAGS list in the Makefile. If you
have the compiled program in another directory, you should go to the
examples in that directory.
4. modify the hdf5/examples/h5_write.c according to the program attached
here.
5. use hdf5/tools/h5dump to examine the output file.
I. First Program

* This example compute the element values of an array in parallel
* by two threads. Then write this dataset into HDF file. This is
* one of the ways to do OpenMP computation with HDF. As long as
* not to do HDF I/O in parallel, it is safe to use HDF.
