Re: [netcdfgroup] NetCDF for parallel usage

Hi,

I plan to use netCDF-4 format for the output of my CFD  code written in
Fortran 90. The code is written for parallel computation.

I know how to read and write netCDF files from a single processor.

I would like to output the data from my CFD code into a single netCDF
file as opposed to outputing data from each processor individually. I
know that many GCMs use this method.

I am also aware (not used) parallel-netCDF, but am not inclined in doing
so unless there is no other option.

Can someone tell be the basic steps for outputing multi-processor data
onto a single netCDF file? Or maybe point me to some links so that i can
adopt the program for my use?

Well, even though you are down on parallel-netCDF, you have not hurt my feelings. I would suggest you take a look at pnetcdf's quick tutorial -- not for the API calls, but for the discussion of data decomposition.

http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/parallel-netcdf/wiki/QuickTutorial

in particular the "real parallel I/O on shared files".

Thanks,
Samrat.
