Hi all, I was using VecView() to write the data to file (a vector of total size 50*20*10 (3D DMDA)). I compared the times for two cases: PETSc's binary and also HDF5. I get an enormous difference between the times I get for these two cases (this test is done using only one processor)
HDF5: 16.2 (sec) Binary: 0.33 (sec). I am using HDF5 VecView() as a magic black box writer to dump the field quantities. And I am not an expert on it but this order of magnitude seems a bit strange to me. Any inputs are appreciated!
