     * * NOTES ON CHUNK SIZE AND ALIGNMENT *
     *
     * The default target chunk size is 128 K, which seems to be a good compromise
     * for small problems (e.g. on a desktop PC). For larger problems, I/O
     * performance often improves with increased chunk size. A sweet spot seems to
     * be 1 M chunks.
     *
     * On a striped filesystem, for best performance set the chunk size and
     * alignment (using `H5Pset_alignment` above) to the file stripe size. With
     * `H5Pset_alignment`, every chunk starts at a multiple of the alignment value.
     *
     * To avoid wasting space, the chunk size should be an integer multiple of the
     * alignment value. Note that the algorithm below automatically goes back one
     * step after exceeding the chunk size, which minimises wasted space. To see
     * why, consider the examples below.
     *
     * (Example 1) Say our file system uses 1 M stripes. If we set
     *     target_size_in_bytes = 1024*1024;
     * below and uncomment
     *     H5Pset_alignment(fapl, 0, 1024*1024);
     * above, i.e. aim for (slightly under) 1 M chunks and align them to 1 M
     * boundaries, then the algorithm below will get as close as possible to 1 M
     * chunks but not exceed it, so each chunk will be padded slightly to sit on
     * the 1 M boundaries. Each chunk will therefore have its own stripe on the
     * file system, which should give us the best bandwidth and least contention.
     * Conclusion: this is optimal!
     *
     * Note: In general the algorithm can get very close to the target so the
     * waste isn't bad. Typical utilization is 99.99% (check with "h5ls -v ...").
     *
     * (Example 2) We set
     *     target_size_in_bytes = 128*1024;
     * and uncomment
     *     H5Pset_alignment(fapl, 0, 1024*1024);
     * i.e. 128 K chunks aligned to 1 M boundaries. This would pad every chunk to
     * 1 M boundaries, wasting 7/8 of the space in the file! A file which might be
     * 5 G with an efficient layout would be more like 40 G! Conclusion: setting
     * the chunk size to less than the alignment value is very bad!
     *
     * (Example 3) Say our file system uses 1 M stripes. We set
     *     target_size_in_bytes = 2*1024*1024;
     * and uncomment
     *     H5Pset_alignment(fapl, 0, 1024*1024);
     * i.e. 2 M chunks aligned to 1 M boundaries. This might not be optimal, but
     * it's OK, since the chunk size is (slightly under) twice the alignment, as in
     * Example 1 the amount of padding would be very small. Each read/write would
     * require accessing 2 stripes on the file system. Conclusion: a chunk size of
     * an integer multiple of the alignment value is fine (but not optimal).
