H5Part development and discussion

[John Shalf <jshalf AT lbl.gov>]

I think H5Block provides the capability that you are looking for.  It  
provides the ability to store the block-structured grids that are  
associated with the PIC calculation together with the particle data.

The H5Block interface should automatically re-integrate the chunks  
(the 64 volumes) into the single/un-domain-decomposed logical volume  
used in the calculation.
