libpnetcdf-dev - 1.12.3-1 main

PnetCDF is a library providing high-performance parallel I/O while still
maintaining file-format compatibility with Unidata's NetCDF,
specifically the formats of CDF-1 and CDF-2.
Although NetCDF supports parallel I/O starting from version 4, the files
must be in HDF5 format. PnetCDF is currently the only choice for carrying
out parallel I/O on files that are in classic formats (CDF-1 and 2).
.
In addition, PnetCDF supports the CDF-5 file format, an extension of CDF-2,
that supports more data types and allows users to define large dimensions,
attributes, and variables (>2B elements).
