Notes and Limitations:

For certain F77 source files, when compiling with gcc/10+, it may be necessary to configure/compile with:

export FCFLAGS="-fallow-argument-mismatch"

export FFLAGS="-fallow-argument-mismatch"

This will turn mismatch errors between actual and dummy argument lists to warnings. See:

https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/issues/212

https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/changes.html

Unidata now packages Netcdf-4 and legacy Netcdf-3 separately. HPE has decided not to continue supplying the legacy Netcdf-3 package. Due to CCE changes a version of netcdf built with “-sreal64” is neither needed nor provided.

NetCDF is supported on the host CPU but not on the accelerator.

Product Description:

NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a set of interfaces for array-oriented data access and a freely-distributed collection of data access libraries for C, Fortran, C++, Java, and other languages. The netCDF libraries support a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interfaces, libraries, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data.
