H5Part development and discussion

[Andreas Adelmann <andreas.adelmann AT psi.ch>]

Hello Prabhat please discuss this NOT offline this is very interesting for the H5Part/H5Block community.

Tnx Andreas

If your data is in H5Part/H5Block format, things should be pretty easy to get going. Might be better if we can chat offline on what exactly you might want to do down the line.

That sounds interesting to play with. Although I've read about fastbit and follow threads on the list to keep myself informed. I've still not used it on anything real. Would there be a step learning curve to go from zero to a test app?

Thanks

JB

Hi John,

Yes, if you are only going to do spatial subsets, bboxes should work just fine. FastBit enables you do queries on any variable, or combination of variables. John Wu and I have been working on FastQuery which enables one to apply FastBit to H5Part, generic HDF5 files and NetCDF files. Happy to share the code with you if you'd like.

Thank Mark, I'm interested in using fastbit as well, but in this case since I already know the BBoxes, I wondered if there was a standard way of using them. I've begun integrating this into my vtkH5PartReader for paraview and in one of the simulations, I will move the code into H5Part proper once it's finished if you would like it.

It's only useful if each process was using a regular hyperslab of particles (which we are).

Hi John, you can perform fast range queries on a H5Part data set by creating a corresponding FastBit index. I'm cc'ing Prabhat who can provide you with more information about a library developed at LBL to integrate FastBit indices into H5Part files, although I don't know if it is publicly available. Mark

Does H5Part have any built in support for storing/querying/extracting bounds of regions of particles.

No. But filed an enhancement request in our tracker. We may implement it in a future release.
