Fortran [Fortran] How to open .hdf5 file extension

AI Thread Summary
To open and process a .hdf5 file in Fortran, users need to utilize the HDF5 library, which provides the necessary functions to read and write HDF5 files. First, the HDF5 library must be installed on the Linux system, which can typically be done through package managers or by compiling from source. Once installed, users can include the HDF5 Fortran interface in their code to access the data within the file. The process involves opening the file, reading the dataset, and then processing the data as needed, similar to how .dat files are handled. Detailed documentation and example code can be found on the HDF Group's website to assist with implementation.

Hello, i am relatively new linux user so please be as thoroughly descriptive as you can.

i am starting a project and i have a file "file.hdf5" which contains velocity data i need to process in my fortran program. What do i have to do in order to use the data inside this file?

i normally use .dat extensions and i simply do:

open(unit=1,file="file1.dat",status="replace")

do i=1,N
read(1,*)...
enddo

In this case what procedure should i follow?? Is it possible to do it directly from fortran or i must extract them using python?? I need any libraries for this and if so how do i install and use them ( haven't used any libraries before).

if anyone has the courage to explain i would appreciate!

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
