Wong" <address@hidden>, address@hidden, Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>, address@hidden Subject: Re: T3D / T3E netcdf memory usage It appears that our problem is solved on both the T3D and T3E by setting the NETCDF_FFIOSPEC variable, as you suggested below. For example, with a little experimentation, we found that a setting of "cachea:1:50" speeded up NCVGT (for a specific data set) by a factor of 200 on both the T3E and T3D. Thanks for the help. -Al
