The HDF5-iRODS Module: A Data Grid System for Object Level Access
Peter Cao, Mike Wan · 2008
Numerous scientific teams use HDF5 files to store very large datasets, which can be located at remote sites. The HDF5-iRODS module for the iRODS data grid system allows applications to read subsets of datasets without transferring the entire file to a local machine. This capability can result in substantial savings of both time and space.
