-HDF5 is a completely new Hierarchical Data Format product consisting of a
-data format specification and a supporting library implementation. HDF5 is
-designed to address some of the limitations of the older HDF product and to
-address current and anticipated requirements of modern systems and
-applications.
-
-HDF5 includes the following improvements.
- - A new file format designed to address some of the deficiencies of HDF4.x,
- particularly the need to store larger files and more objects per file.
- - A simpler, more comprehensive data model that includes only two basic
- structures: a multidimensional array of record structures, and a grouping
- structure.
- - A simpler, better-engineered library and API, with improved support for
- parallel I/O, threads, and other requirements imposed by modern systems
- and applications.
