This function opens a netCDF-4 dataset for parallel access.
This opens the file using either MPI-IO or MPI-POSIX. The file must be a netCDF-4 file. (That is, it must have been created using NF_NETCDF4 in the creation mode).
This function is only available if netCDF-4 was configured with the .use-parallel option before being built. Also HDF5 parallel must be installed (before netCDF-4 is installed.)
Before either HDF5 or netCDF-4 can be installed with support for parallel programming, and MPI layer must also be installed on the machine, and usually a parallel file system.
NetCDF-4 exposes the parallel access functionality of HDF5. For more information about what is required to install and use the parallel access functions, see the HDF5 web site.
When a netCDF-4 file is opened for parallel access, collective operations are the default. To use independent access on a variable, See NF_VAR_PAR_ACCESS.
INTEGER FUNCTION NF_OPEN_PAR(CHARACTER*(*) PATH, INTEGER OMODE,
INTEGER MPI_COMM, INTEGER MPI_INFO,
INTEGER ncid)
PATHOMODEOtherwise, the mode may be NF_WRITE. Setting the NF_WRITE flag opens the dataset with read-write access. ("Writing" means any kind of change to the dataset, including appending or changing data, adding or renaming dimensions, variables, and attributes, or deleting attributes.)
Setting NF_NETCDF4 is not necessary (or allowed). The file type is
detected automatically.
MPI_COMMMPI_INFOncidNF_OPEN returns the value NF_NOERR if no errors occurred. Otherwise, the returned status indicates an error. Possible causes of errors include:
