Hi
Over in Parallel-NetCDF land we're running into users who find even
the CDF-2 file format limitations, well, limiting.
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/NetCDF-64-bit-Offset-Format-Limitations.html
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/faq.html#Large%20File%20Support10
If we worked up a CDF-3 file format for parallel-netcdf (off the top
of my head, maybe a 64 bit integer instead of an unsigned 32 bit
integer could be used to describe variables), would the serial netcdf
folks be interested, or are you looking to the new netcdf-4 format to
take care of these limits?
Thanks
