NetCDF users,

Just a quick question.  Can NetCDF4 use MPI-IO if also using
compression?  I read on the HDFgroup website that MPI-IO and compression
are not compatible but I am not sure if this still applies and how it
affects NetCDF4.

The HDFgroup FAQ related to MPI-IO and compression:
http://www.hdfgroup.com/hdf5-quest.html#p5comp

Many thanks,

Tom
