Hi,
On Windows, I develop a C++ software engine doing calculations, writing the
results as time series in a netcdf4 file (time is a NC_UNLIMITED dimension).
The engine only writes, no read.
I have a C# based GUI loading the netcdf4 file and checking if a new time
snapshot is completely written by the engine. Then it loads this snapshot for
real-time visualization. The GUI only reads, no write.
I am currently using netcdf4, but it results in segmentation faults when the
engine and GUI concurrently work on the same dataset. I believe it is because
netcdf4 is not thread-safe, although I am not sure of what it involves exactly.
However, as I am not doing any parallel read or write, and each process
performs a single type of operation, I wonder if there is a simple way of doing
this safely using netcdf4. Is it possible, or should I use hdf5 directly?
Thanks
