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.
