Hi Dimos, Are you talking about users’ metadata, i.e., HDF5 attributes?
Here at The HDF Group we are not aware of any benchmarks and such applications, but the scenario you described is very reasonable (not sure about “frequent" though). For example, data is used as input to different algorithms that produce small amount of data that is stored in the same HDF5 file.

For example, such an application could load a huge dataset from one day's data, and then perform operations which will make only metadata to change. Is there any sample applications/benchmarks that you know of this behavior? Many thanks, Dimos _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
