Summary0015566: ncx.c performance work
DescriptionHere is a .diff that modifies ncx.c. Basically, I am trying to move 32 bit words, rather than bytes (as originally done). This is generally for the Exodus reader.

An optimized version of this code changed from 37.7 seconds (4.3.1) to 23.9 seconds (master, these changes applied) to load a dataset (that I may not share), containing 950,000 cells and 1,400,000 points. This files mods were by far the biggest change.

Note that this is in the netcdf directories. Please ask Utkarsh before applying this patch.

Note to self, OUO tire, Linux.

Test by opening any Exodus file.

Alan,

Attached is a counter patch. Mind testing it as before? I just tried to simplify the logic and avoid running into Windows issues with size of long being 32 bit.

Nope, this shows the optimizer bug. I will give you a screenshot by e-mail. Do not apply this patch.

Lets defer this code. There is an optimizer bug that is occurring, and I cannot be sure that I can work around it. Further, the code owners (Unidata netCDF Support <support-netcdf@unidata.ucar.edu>) are going to implement and test this performance fix. Getting rid of the target version, changing status to open.

The patches to NetCDF have been upstreamed. We'll inherit them once the are accepted in the official release.
