Hello,

I have an HDF5 file with one big dataset that needs to be read by many MPI processes exclusively (that is, every process reads its own non-overlapping portion of data). Should I

I. use parallel HDF5 file access (HDF5D_MPI driver) with non-collective dataset reading, or

II. use non-parallel HFD5 file access (default driver; simply open the file multiple times without caring about MPI)?

Is there any significant performance difference between these two options?

Thanks for help,
Daniel
