Upcoming HDF5 changes and improvements - Neil Fortner on Call the Doctor 6/24
Chief HDF5 Software Architect Neil Fortner (@nfortne2) will host Call the Doctor on Tuesday, June 24 to talk about the recent RFCs discussed in some of The HDF Group’s Working Group sessions:
- Shared Strings in Virtual Dataset Layout Encoding in HDF5
- Fine Grained Capability Reporting by HDF5 VOL Connectors
He will talk about the RFCs themselves and explain the decisions made in the working group meetings.
Neil will also share with the community the changes to H5Dread_chunk. These changes make it important for everyone to move to the newer version for better security and memory safety.
As always, Neil will be available for all your general HDF5 questions as well.
