Plans for an Enhanced NetCDF-4
Interface to HDF5 Data
Russ Rew, UCAR Unidata Program
Mike Folk, NCSA/UIUC
Ed Hartnett, UCAR Unidata Program
Robert E. McGrath, NCSA/UIUC
What is NetCDF?
• Similarities with HDF5:
A scientific data model
A data access library and set of interfaces
A format for storing and accessing data

• Differences from HDF5:
Simpler, more widely used (currently)
Less powerful, less performance-oriented

• Current version: netCDF-3 is supported by
UCAR Unidata Program
NetCDF-4/HDF5 Goals
• Combine desirable characteristics of netCDF
and HDF5, while taking advantage of their
separate strengths:
Widespread use and simplicity of netCDF
Generality and performance of HDF5

• Preserve format and API compatibility for
netCDF users
• Demonstrate benefits of combination in
advanced Earth science modeling efforts
NetCDF-4 Features Enabled by HDF5
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Large file support
Parallel I/O
Multiple dynamic dimensions
Packed data, compression
New data types
Dynamic schema modifications
Other possibilities: groups, Unicode, userdefined types, better coordinate support, …
Backward Compatibility
• Two kinds of compatibility:
API:
Extension of netCDF-3 API
Support existing netCDF-3 applications by
recompiling/relinking

Format:
Access to existing netCDF-3 data
Access to HDF5 files written through netCDF-4 interface

• Leverage C interface for other interfaces to
Fortran90, C++, Perl, Ruby, …
• Java interface must be developed separately

NCSA Contributions
• Overall design
• Dimension scales
To support shared dimensions
Addition to HDF5 data model

• Parallel I/O
Using Argonne/Northwestern work
Challenging performance goal
Acknowledgments and URL
