FileFormatGuideTo help simplify the user's view of CardioWave, we have standardized a number of file types. These include vector and sparse matrix files and they are swappable between all systems (the system will convert endian-ness as needed). There is no difference between files written by a 16 PE parallel run and a single PE run. The first line of these files is a text-based header. This header contains a short, somewhat cryptic string of letters and numbers describing the type of file followed by some more specific information for the given data set (eg. vector size or the number of rows in the matrix). This header is closely followed by binary data and thus may be followed by garbage text strings. To see the text, you can simply type out the file: % cat file1.vec or: % more file1.vec
