Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 performance snapshot for csc-training/summerschool: delivered substantive content enhancements across HDF5, IO, and parallel I/O, accompanied by cleanup and documentation improvements. Implemented a new HDF5 Self-Study Module while retiring legacy HDF5 exercises, expanded background and hyperslab materials, reworked IO exercises to take total writes as input, and archived the previous, overly complex version. Reorganized and clarified Parallel IO content, updated Lustre striping visuals, and added a new OpenMP task dependencies demo and slides. Added HDF5 dataspace explanations, a sample H5 file, and related exercises to strengthen practical understanding. Also introduced minor UX improvements (default debug flag, formatting and image/path fixes) to improve maintainability and delivery reliability. This work drives improved learning outcomes, faster onboarding, and reduced long-term maintenance for the repository.
