Need to read a 38 GB PBF (Pretty Big File) in any dimension in ~1 sec? You need to chunk the data. Check out netCDF-4 with its sub-sampling and discrete compression options.

Interesting that UNIDATA consider 38 GB to be a PBF rather than a RBF (Really Big File)!

If you get this, delete it. - Sorry!

Oldest email in the W3C archive sent by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991, shortly after the World Wide Web was founded. The W3C don't delete anything. Period.
