h5perf_serial - Man Page
Measures HDF5 serial performance.
Description
h5perf_serial: Version 1.8.7 usage: h5perf_serial [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS
- -h
- Print an usage message and exit 
- -A AL
- Which APIs to test [default: all of them] 
- -c SL
- Selects chunked storage and defines chunks dimensions and sizes [default: Off] 
- -e SL
- Dimensions and sizes of dataset [default: 100,200] 
- -i N
- Number of iterations to perform [default: 1] 
- -r NL
- Dimension access order (see below for description) [default: 1,2] 
- -t
- Selects extendable dimensions for HDF5 dataset [default: Off] 
- -v VFD
- Selects file driver for HDF5 access [default: sec2] 
- -w
- Perform write tests, not the read tests [default: Off] 
- -x SL
- Dimensions and sizes of the transfer buffer [default: 10,20] 
- N
- - is an integer > 0. 
- S
- - is a size specifier, an integer > 0 followed by a size indicator: - K - Kilobyte (1024) M - Megabyte (1048576) G - Gigabyte (1073741824) - Example: '37M' is 37 megabytes or 38797312 bytes - AL - is an API list. Valid values are: - hdf5 - HDF5 posix - POSIX - Example: -A posix,hdf5 - NL - is list of integers (N) separated by commas. - Example: 1,2,3 - SL - is list of size specifiers (S) separated by commas. - Example: 2K,2K,3K - The example defines an object (dataset, tranfer buffer) with three dimensions. Be aware that as the number of dimensions increases, the the total size of the object increases exponentially. 
- VFD
- - is an HDF5 file driver specifier. Valid values are: - sec2, stdio, core, split, multi, family, direct - Dimension access order: - Data access starts at the cardinal origin of the dataset using the transfer buffer. The next access occurs on a dataset region next to the previous one. For a multidimensional dataset, there are several directions as to where to proceed. This can be specified in the dimension access order. For example, -r 1,2 states that the tool should traverse dimension 1 first, and then dimension 2. - Environment variables: 
- HDF5_NOCLEANUP
- Do not remove data files if set [default remove] 
- HDF5_PREFIX
- Data file prefix
