The HDF5 Library
Overview
HDF stands for Hierarchical Data Format. This format was developed by the NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications) before being taken over by the HDF Group. It aims to facilitate the handling of files containing very large amounts of data by organising this data into a directory tree.
Available Versions
The versions installed on Jean Zay have been compiled sequentially and in parallel with IntelMPI or OpenMPI.
Usage
HDF5 is accessible via the module command.
Sequential Versions
module load hdf5/1.12.0
Parallel Versions IntelMPI
module load hdf5/1.14.5-mpi
Parallel Version OpenMPI
module load hdf5/1.14.5-mpi-cuda
