Papers, presentations, and more

• Our 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 (SC2003 Paper about Parallel-NetCDF (PDF, 97k) discusses our library and presents some performance results.
• Jianwei Li's presentation (PDF, 167k) from the SC2003 conference.
• Unidata's serial NetCDF documentation sometimes comes in handy for comparison.

Tuning

• HintsForPnetcdf describes some low-level turning parameters
