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.

Re: [netcdfgroup] create/open netCDF in parallel

Howdy Luis!

Yes, you can do that.

Whether a file is using parallel I/O is not a characteristic of the file,
it is a characteristic of how you open the file. If you open (or create)
with nc_open_par() (or nc_create_par()), then you get parallel IO.
Otherwise you get sequential IO.

You can create the file with par, and open it without parallel I/O next
time. Similarly you can take a file that is produced sequentially, and open
it for parallel I/O access.

Keep on NetCDFing!
