HDF5 File Structure

The C++ code has been designed as a standalone application which is not dependent on MATLAB libraries or a MEX interface. This is of particular importance when using servers and supercomputers without MATLAB support. For this reason, simulation data must be transferred between the C++ code and MATLAB using external input and output files. These files are stored using the Hierarchical Data Format HDF5 (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/). This is a data model, library, and file format for storing and managing data. It supports a variety of datatypes, and is designed for flexible and efficient I/O and for high volume and complex data. The HDF5 technology suite includes tools and applications for managing, manipulating, viewing, and analysing data in the HDF5 format.

Each HDF5 file is a container for storing a variety of scientific data and is composed of two primary types of objects: groups and datasets. A HDF5 group is a structure containing zero or more HDF5 objects, together with supporting metadata. A HDF5 group can be seen as a disk folder. A HDF5 dataset is a multidimensional array of data elements, together with supporting metadata. A HDF5 dataset can be seen as a disk file. Any HDF5 group or dataset may also have an associated attribute list. A HDF5 attribute is a user-defined HDF5 structure that provides extra information about a HDF5 object. More information can be obtained from the HDF5 documentation (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/index.html).

kspaceFirstOrder3D-OMP v1.1 introduces a new version of the HDF5 input and output file format. The code is happy to work with both versions (1.0 and 1.1), however when working with an input file of version 1.0, some features are not supported, namely the cuboid sensor mask, and u_non_staggered_raw. When running from within the actual K-Wave Toolbox, the files will always be generated in version 1.1

The HDF5 input file for the C++ simulation code contains a file header with brief description of the simulation stored in string attributes, and the root group `/' which stores all the simulation properties in the form of 3D datasets (a complete list of input datasets is given bellow). The HDF5 checkpoint file contains the same file header as the input file and the root group `/' with a few datasets keeping the actual simulation state The HDF5 output file contains a file header with the simulation description as well as performance statistics, such as the simulation time and memory consumption, stored in string attributes. The results of the simulation are stored in the root group `/' in the form of 3D datasets.

The input and checkpoint file stores all quantities as three dimensional datasets with dimension sizes designed by (Nx, Ny, Nz). In order to support scalars and 1D and 2D arrays, the unused dimensions are set to 1. For example, scalar variables are stored with a dimension size of (1,1,1), 1D vectors oriented in y-direction are stored with a dimension size of (1, Ny, 1), and so on. If the dataset stores a complex variable, the real and imaginary parts are stored in an interleaved layout and the lowest used dimension size is doubled (i.e., Nx for a 3D matrix, Ny for a 1D vector oriented in the y-direction). The datasets are physically stored in row-major order (in contrast to column-major order used by MATLAB) using either the `H5T_IEEE_F32LE' data type for floating point datasets or `H5T_STD_U64LE' for integer based datasets. All the datasets are store under the root group.

The output file of version 1.0 could only store recorded quantities as 3D datasets under the root group. However, with version 1.1 and the new cuboid corner sensor mask, the sampled quantities may be laid out as 4D quantities stored under specific groups. The dimensions are always (Nx, Ny, Nz, Nt), every sampled cuboid is stored as a distinct dataset and the datasets are grouped under a group named by the quantity stored. This makes the file clearly readable and easy to parse.

In order to enable compression and more efficient data processing, big datasets are not stored as monolithic blocks but broken into chunks that may be compressed by the ZIP library and stored separately. The chunk size is defined as follows:

  • (1M elements, 1, 1) in the case of 1D variables - index sensor mask (8MB blocks).
  • (Nx, Ny, 1) in the case of 3D variables (one 2D slab).
  • (Nx, Ny, Nz, 1) in the case of 4D variables (one time step).
  • (N_sensor_points, 1, 1) in the case of the output time series (one time step of the simulation).

All datasets have two attributes that specify the content of the dataset. The `data_type' attribute specifies the data type of the dataset. The admissible values are either `float' or `long'. The `domain_type' attribute specifies the domain of the dataset. The admissible values are either `real' for the real domain or `complex' for the complex domain. The C++ code reads these attributes and checks their values.
