freeing H5FL.c memory

Sorry, let me be more specific.

Is there a general purpose function in the new HDF5-1.8.3 that will free up all memory resources utiltized by calls within H5FL?

I investigated the source and documentation but could not find one that fit the circumstances.

Basically, I have an application that uses the HDF5 library and memory is being exhausted.

Thank you,

John Huddleston

Hi

I compiled hdf5-1.8.3 with the GrADs system and found many memory leaks on
H5FL.c

It is substantial.

Hi Elena,

I’ll provide my comments, here, via email.

First, great idea. I like this (service) HDF5 group is trying to offer.

The policy discusses the identifier and what information is required to
’request’ an identifier. Are there any requirements on the language its
written it (I assume it has to be C), the platorm(s) it is known to
compile/run on?

Finally, it would be good to establish a small set of benchmark datasets
that compression filters can be tested on. These (uncompressed) HDF5
files could be provided for download from the community filters page
along with the same files with datasets compressed by each of the
filters published there. And, for each filter performance (both time to
compress/decompress as well as amount of compression) of the filter on a
canonical cpu (some machine HDFgroup owns – all thats important is that
performance results are all obtained from the same machine) be given
along with the link to the filter ‘details’

Hi Elena,

One other thing it might be worth mentioning about a compression filter
is whether the compresser supports ONLY lossless compression or both
lossy and lossless compression. Sometimes lossy is useful. Most times
not.

I’m trying to configure hdf5 through cygwin on vista and I’m getting an
error saying that: C++ preprocessor “/lib/cpp” fails sanity check. I was
wondering if anyone could help me out with why that’s coming up. I have
installed g++ into cygwin and everything else that hdf5 should need. I
didn’t email the helpdesk because I figure I’ll get a faster response from
here. Thanks for any help.

Dimitry,

Did you set any CPP flags before doing configure? (don’t do it)

Please also see instructions in the release_docs directory, the
INSTALL_Cygwin.txt file

No I didn’t set any flags and I looked at those instructions. They don’t
really say much. I just need a basic install anyway. Do you want me to
post the config.log file?

So I found that the problem is that the configuration is looking for
lib/cpp but no such file exists in lib. I don’t know how to fix that
though.

Hi Elena,

One other thing it might be worth mentioning about a compression filter
is whether the compresser supports ONLY lossless compression or both
lossy and lossless compression. Sometimes lossy is useful. Most times
not.

I apologize for the multiple emails.

There was a typo in the page name that was brought to my attention. It
was fixed. Here is the new link to the policy description

I'm trying to configure hdf5 through cygwin on vista and I'm getting an
error saying that: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check. I was
wondering if anyone could help me out with why that's coming up. I have
installed g++ into cygwin and everything else that hdf5 should need. I
didn't email the helpdesk because I figure I'll get a faster response from
here. Thanks for any help.

Dimitry,

Did you set any CPP flags before doing configure? (don't do it)

Please also see instructions in the release_docs directory, the
INSTALL_Cygwin.txt file

No I didn't set any flags and I looked at those instructions. They don't
really say much. I just need a basic install anyway. Do you want me to
post the config.log file?

So I found that the problem is that the configuration is looking for
lib/cpp but no such file exists in lib. I don't know how to fix that
though.

  The H5FL* routines are the "free list manager" routines for HDF5. You can call H5garbage_collect() to trigger them to release resources or use H5set_free_list_limits() to turn down the free list resources used.

Hi

I compiled hdf5-1.8.3 with the GrADs system and found many memory leaks on
H5FL.c

It is substantial.

Hi Elena,

I'll provide my comments, here, via email.

First, great idea. I like this (service) HDF5 group is trying to offer.

The policy discusses the identifier and what information is required to
'request' an identifier. Are there any requirements on the language its
written it (I assume it has to be C), the platorm(s) it is known to
compile/run on?

Finally, it would be good to establish a small set of benchmark datasets
that compression filters can be tested on. These (uncompressed) HDF5
files could be provided for download from the community filters page
along with the same files with datasets compressed by each of the
filters published there. And, for each filter performance (both time to
compress/decompress as well as amount of compression) of the filter on a
canonical cpu (some machine HDFgroup owns -- all thats important is that
performance results are all obtained from the same machine) be given
along with the link to the filter 'details'

Hi Elena,

One other thing it might be worth mentioning about a compression filter
is whether the compresser supports ONLY lossless compression or both
lossy and lossless compression. Sometimes lossy is useful. Most times
not.

I apologize for the multiple emails.

There was a typo in the page name that was brought to my attention. It
was fixed. Here is the new link to the policy description

I'm trying to configure hdf5 through cygwin on vista and I'm getting an
error saying that: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check. I was
wondering if anyone could help me out with why that's coming up. I have
installed g++ into cygwin and everything else that hdf5 should need. I
didn't email the helpdesk because I figure I'll get a faster response from
here. Thanks for any help.

Dimitry,

Did you set any CPP flags before doing configure? (don't do it)

Please also see instructions in the release_docs directory, the
INSTALL_Cygwin.txt file

No I didn't set any flags and I looked at those instructions. They don't
really say much. I just need a basic install anyway. Do you want me to
post the config.log file?

So I found that the problem is that the configuration is looking for
lib/cpp but no such file exists in lib. I don't know how to fix that
though.

John,

Please try to configure HDF5 using

--disable-using-memchecker flag.

  That'll work, but it totally disables the free list manager, which may have negative effects on performance.

Hi

I compiled hdf5-1.8.3 with the GrADs system and found many memory leaks on
H5FL.c

It is substantial.

Hi Elena,

I'll provide my comments, here, via email.

First, great idea. I like this (service) HDF5 group is trying to offer.

The policy discusses the identifier and what information is required to
'request' an identifier. Are there any requirements on the language its
written it (I assume it has to be C), the platorm(s) it is known to
compile/run on?

Finally, it would be good to establish a small set of benchmark datasets
that compression filters can be tested on. These (uncompressed) HDF5
files could be provided for download from the community filters page
along with the same files with datasets compressed by each of the
filters published there. And, for each filter performance (both time to
compress/decompress as well as amount of compression) of the filter on a
canonical cpu (some machine HDFgroup owns -- all thats important is that
performance results are all obtained from the same machine) be given
along with the link to the filter 'details'

Hi Elena,

One other thing it might be worth mentioning about a compression filter
is whether the compresser supports ONLY lossless compression or both
lossy and lossless compression. Sometimes lossy is useful. Most times
not.

I apologize for the multiple emails.

There was a typo in the page name that was brought to my attention. It
was fixed. Here is the new link to the policy description
https://hdf5dev.pbworks.com/Community-HDF5-filters-policy

I'm trying to configure hdf5 through cygwin on vista and I'm getting an
error saying that: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check. I was
wondering if anyone could help me out with why that's coming up. I have
installed g++ into cygwin and everything else that hdf5 should need. I
didn't email the helpdesk because I figure I'll get a faster response from
here. Thanks for any help.

Dimitry,

Did you set any CPP flags before doing configure? (don't do it)

Please also see instructions in the release_docs directory, the
INSTALL_Cygwin.txt file

No I didn't set any flags and I looked at those instructions. They don't
really say much. I just need a basic install anyway. Do you want me to
post the config.log file?

So I found that the problem is that the configuration is looking for
lib/cpp but no such file exists in lib. I don't know how to fix that
though.

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm not sure that it actually helped the
memory situation; however, my application runs nearly twice as fast.

Quincey

I tried the H5garbage_collect() function call. I'm still getting enormous
memory allocation. I need to add the mtrace() functionality to the hdf5
library. I'll do some more research.

Thank you both again,

Is there a general purpose function in the new HDF5-1.8.3 that will
free up all memory resources utiltized by calls within H5FL?

I investigated the source and documentation but could not find one
that fit the circumstances.

Basically, I have an application that uses the HDF5 library and
memory is being exhausted.

Thank you,

Hi

I compiled hdf5-1.8.3 with the GrADs system and found many memory
leaks on
H5FL.c

It is substantial.

Hi Elena,

I'll provide my comments, here, via email.

First, great idea. I like this (service) HDF5 group is trying to
offer.

The policy discusses the identifier and what information is required
to
'request' an identifier. Are there any requirements on the language
its
written it (I assume it has to be C), the platorm(s) it is known to
compile/run on?

Finally, it would be good to establish a small set of benchmark
datasets
that compression filters can be tested on. These (uncompressed) HDF5
files could be provided for download from the community filters page
along with the same files with datasets compressed by each of the
filters published there. And, for each filter performance (both time
to
compress/decompress as well as amount of compression) of the filter
on a
canonical cpu (some machine HDFgroup owns -- all thats important is
that
performance results are all obtained from the same machine) be given
along with the link to the filter 'details'

Hi Elena,

One other thing it might be worth mentioning about a compression
filter
is whether the compresser supports ONLY lossless compression or both
lossy and lossless compression. Sometimes lossy is useful. Most times
not.

I apologize for the multiple emails.

There was a typo in the page name that was brought to my attention. It
was fixed. Here is the new link to the policy description
https://hdf5dev.pbworks.com/Community-HDF5-filters-policy

I'm trying to configure hdf5 through cygwin on vista and I'm getting
an
error saying that: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check. I
was
wondering if anyone could help me out with why that's coming up. I
have
installed g++ into cygwin and everything else that hdf5 should need. I
didn't email the helpdesk because I figure I'll get a faster
response from
here. Thanks for any help.

Dimitry,

Did you set any CPP flags before doing configure? (don't do it)

Please also see instructions in the release_docs directory, the
INSTALL_Cygwin.txt file

No I didn't set any flags and I looked at those instructions. They
don't
really say much. I just need a basic install anyway. Do you want me to
post the config.log file?

So I found that the problem is that the configuration is looking for
lib/cpp but no such file exists in lib. I don't know how to fix that
though.
