It has to parse the entire xml file to determine the scope of the entire data, but it should only read into memory the enabled arrays from the enabled blocks for the current time step. If it isn't doing that you've probably found a new bug.
Is this a dataset that you can send me so that I can take a look at it? I'm working on the next generation xdmf reader/writer with ARL right now and I'ld like to see if the new reader does better with your data. cheers, David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. R&D Engineer 21 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 Phone: 518-881-4909 Hi, All. I'm an using paraview for quite some time now, in conjunction with HDF5 and XDMF (the XMF descriptor is generated "manually", i.e. not by the XDMF library tool) Everything is working smoothly for small enough datasets; I have several time steps and several quantities per time step, they all appear as desired. Now, my question is whether I can influence the way paraview loads this data from HDD into memory. It seems to me that not only paraview loads all quantities of a given time step into memory, even if this is currently unnecessary, because some quantities are not used yet. It also tries to load data from several time steps. The latter is a big problem for me, since right now I have to create one XMF file per time step, load it, and so on, as opposed to just have all time steps in one XMF file and use paraviews forward/backward buttons, if my data is too big.
