Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Please respond to this message only if you are using netCDF for large (over a megabyte of data) to Huge (100's of megabytes to gigabytes of data). I need to do a short survey of netCDF usage for large to HUGE datasets. We are thinking about using netCDF for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance data for analytical laboratories and for Magnetic Resonance Imaging data. 1) What are the largest datasets that you are using with netCDF now? 2) For what applications? 3) What limitations are you experiencing for performance? (If you are experiencing limitations, please state what kind of hardware and software you are using so we know how to interpret your results.) 4) What are your plans for larger datasets in the future? How far do you envision netCDF going before it breaks down, if at all? Thanks in advance. Rich Lysakowski ADISS Project Director
