Introduction
HDF5 is a unique technology suite that makes possible the management of extremely large and complex data collections.The HDF5 data model, file format, API, library, and tools are open and distributed without charge. HDF5 has been installed by enable parallel execution.
The HDF5 technology suite includes:
A versatile data model that can represent very complex data objects and a wide variety of metadata.
A completely portable file format with no limit on the number or size of data objects in the collection.
A software library that runs on a range of computational platforms, from laptops to massively parallel systems, and implements a high-level API with C, C++, Fortran 90, and Java interfaces.
A rich set of integrated performance features that allow for access time and storage space optimizations.
Tools and applications for managing, manipulating, viewing, and analyzing the data in the collection.
Version : 1.8.16
