Re: parallel I/O and netCDF-4

["Robert E. McGrath" <mcgrath@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,

You might want to look at our parallel tutorial.  It gives an 
introduction
to how HDF5 does parallel IO along with an example.

  http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/PHDF5/

As far a prerequisites, parallel netcdf 4 will need to have parallel 
hdf5,
i.e., HDF5 compile with the parallel stuff enabled.
