== Papers, presentations, and more == * Our [http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~robl/pnetcdf/docs/netcdf-api.ps Parallel NetCDF API] (postscript, 158k) document describes the API we are using. We have tweaked the programming interface to be more friendly to parallel i/o while maintaining file format compatibility with the serial version of NetCDF. * Our ([http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~robl/pnetcdf/docs/pnetcdf-sc2003.pdf SC2003 Paper] about Parallel-NetCDF (PDF, 97k) discusses our library and presents some performance results. * [http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~robl/pnetcdf/docs/sc03_present.pdf Jianwei Li's presentation] (PDF, 167k) from the SC2003 conference. * [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/netcdf-4/newdocs/netcdf-c.html Unidata's serial NetCDF documentation] sometimes comes in handy for comparison. === Tuning === * HintsForPnetcdf describes some low-level turning parameters === Release Notes === * [wiki:ReleaseNotes-1.1.0] (released 2 November 2009) * [wiki:ReleaseNotes-1.1.0pre1] === Others === * NetCDF-4 can use pnetcdf. We think this is great. More information: [wiki:PnetcdfAndNetcdf4] * Forrest Hoffman wrote an article about Parallel-netCDF in the July 2004 issue of Linux Magazine. * The HDF group at NCSA ported a serial NetCDF code to one using Parallel-NetCDF. They posted [http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/apps/WRF-ROMS/ROMS-README.htm a writeup] of their efforts . It's a little old but does provide some additional information to supplement {{{doc/porting_notes.txt}}}
