Storage systems on leadership-class machines can deliver tens of gigabytes of performance at peak, yet applications frequently see much less performance in practice. High Level I/O libraries such as HDF5 can bridge the gap between application I/O and the storage system. This seminar will give an introduction to using the HDF5 library, with a focus on parallel I/O and performance tuning options.
