On a somewhat related topic, I am now preparing a PR which will build PIO ( https://github.com/NCAR/ParallelIO) into the netCDF library. This will provide some great HPC features for supercomputer users. But it does not introduce a new format, so no one should call it netCDF-6. ;-) Ed On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 5:30 PM, Wei-keng Liao <wkliao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I, as a PnetCDF developer, have never used the term "netcdf-5". > I always use cdf-5 or cdf5 to refer the file format, as "cdf" plus > a single character (e.g. '1', '2', or '5') is the signature string > stored in the file header for I/O libraries such as NetCDF, PnetCDF, > and probably some others to tell the format. > > In my opinion, "netcdf-4" is better used to refer to the library, > instead of a format, but I can see many have already use the term > for both.
