That's wonderful.

Can you tell me more about the parallel ROMS? Do you work with the ROMS model a
lot? Where will you be releasing it?

How did the parallelization go? We you able to achieve much speedup?

Would you mind sending me your parallelized ROMS so that I can benchmark it?
ROMS has been used before for this purpose with parallel HDF5, so it would be
interesting to see a comparison.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have added them and they are in the latest
snapshot release:
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

I have also added a F77 and a F90 test program for the parallel functions. See
the snapshot documentation for more info and examples.

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks!
