It derives its name from the + fact that it depends on the + <a href="http://standards.ieee.org/catalog/it.html#gen184">IEEE + 754</a> + standard representations + for floating point numbers to achieve its portability. It + provides many of the capabilities of the + <a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu">HDF-SDS</a> and NetCDF + file formats however it is much smaller and simpler than + either. In addition, it is <a href="Performance.html"> + reasonably fast</a> when compared + to raw f77 unformatted IO. + + The programming interface allows complete + interoperability with the HDF and NetCDF formats if those + libraries are linked in. It is not intended to supercede these + formats. It is designed to replace them only where the extra + functionality and consequent size of these libraries is not + desired.<p> + <hr> + <h1>Information</h1> + <UL> + <LI><a href="why.html">Why IEEEIO</a> + <LI><a href="Performance.html">Performance</a> + <LI><a href="Aquiring.html">Aquiring the source code and compiling IEEEIO</a> + <LI><a href="Using.html">Using IEEEIO</a> + <LI><a href="Utilities.html">Utilities and Data Translators</a> + <LI><a href="VizReaders.html">Readers for Visualization Systems</a> + <LI><a href="HighLev.html">Higher level interfaces</a> + </UL> + <hr> + <address><a href="mailto:jshalf@suttung.aei-potsdam.mpg.de">John Shalf</a></address> + <!-- Created: Mon Apr 7 12:52:52 MDT 1997 --> + <!-- hhmts start --> +Last modified: Fri May 29 10:06:40 CDT 1998 +<!-- hhmts end --> + </body> +</html> |
