Upcoming New HDF5 Features: Progress on Multi-thread, Sparse Data Storage, and Encryption in HDF5

Over the past three years Lifeboat, LLC received DOE SBIR grants to enhance HDF5 and support multi-threaded VOL connectors, sparse and variable-length data storage, and encryption of HDF5 files. In our talk we will report on the progress we have made on the new features and will share our experience of working with the existing HDF5 code while creating non-trivial extensions to the software.
