HDF is a library and a multi-object file format that facilitates the transfer of various types of scientific data between machines and operating systems. There are two versions of HDF available at MSI, HDF4 and HDF5. The physical file formats of HDF4 and HDF5 are different. HDF5 also has a collection of utilities for manipulating data.
Labs

module load hdf5
Examples
Examples of how to use HDF5 routines can be found on the Lab Linux systems in
/soft/hdf5/1.8.5-patch1/share/hdf5_examples/
Itasca
To run HDF5 interactively in a Linux environment run the command:
module load hdf5/hdf5-1.8.7-intel-pmpi or module load hdf5/hdf5-1.8.7-intel-serial
On Itasca, examples can be found in
