No, we aren't aware of anyone working on this currently, but Paul Le Texier pointed out the CACM article on MPI-IO last year and provided us some links to more information, in the support email message http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdf/2697 so he might be interested in the subject. In a somewhat related effort, NERSC has succeeded in modifying netCDF so that on Cray (and SGI?) computers, multiple processing elements can open a netCDF simultaneously and achieve parallelism in accessing the data. For more on this, see: http://www.nersc.gov/~rkowen/netcdf/ Information on how to use this parallelized version is available from http://www.nersc.gov/~rkowen/netcdf/usage.html --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
