I have ~98K ASCII files ( ~4K each so ~380MB in total)
I convert those files into a single binary file (HDF5_FILE)
using basic functions:
(..)
char buffer[FILE_LEN][LINE_LEN];
foreach (file in list_of_files)
buffer=get(all_lines_in_the_file);
dataset =
H5LTmake_dataset(HDF5_FILE,DATASET_NAME,2,dimsfx,H5T_NATIVE_CHAR,buffer);
end
(..)
but the HDF5_FILE final size is ~1GB ... almost 3 times the size of the
ASCII files put all together.
Could someone please sheds light on that point ?
Barbara
