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
