pnetcdf vs. parallel netcdf
Issue #17
resolved
When ploughing through the CMake files, I was a little confused when it comes to the netCDF configuration. For example, MOAB's FindNetCDF.cmake
tries to find PnetCDF if MPI is enabled. To clarify, there is netCDF (which also has a parallel I/O mode) and then there's a different piece of software, PnetCDF. The code bases are unrelated.
Q: Does MOAB require the logic "for serial use netCDF, for parallel use PnetCDF", or can MOAB also use netCDF's own parallel mode?

Resolved ?

so MOAB does not use "netCDF's own parallel mode"

MOAB only supports pnetcdf and not the MPI-enabled NetCDF interfaces. Probably could be a future addition.

Moab does not use parallel netcdf, it uses pnetcdf and serial netcdf
