Tutorials and Presentations
There are several HDF5 tutorials and presentations that will help in learning Parallel HDF5:
New users to HDF5 should work through this tutorial first. It does not cover parallel programming but contains basic information needed in order to use Parallel HDF5. For example, subsetting is not a parallel feature but it is commonly used in Parallel HDF5 and important to understand.
This tutorial is for users who are familiar with HDF5. It provides information on creating and writing to files with Parallel HDF5.
Presentations:
Users may also be interested in the Introduction to Scientific I/O tutorial provided by NERSC. It contains information on scientific I/O and parallel programming (which includes HDF5).
