To extract a Dask array from an HDF5 file, you can use the dask.array.from_array() function in conjunction with the h5py.File object.
Here is an example of how to extract a Dask array from an HDF5 file using h5py and Dask:
import h5pyimport dask.array as da# Open the HDF5 filewith h5py.File('data.h5', 'r') as f: # Get the dataset dset = f['my_dataset'] # Extract the Dask array dask_array = da.from_array(dset, chunks=dset.chunks) |
In this example, we open the HDF5 file data.h5 in read mode using the h5py.File() function. We then get the dataset my_dataset using the [] operator, and extract a Dask array from it using the da.from_array() function. The chunks argument is set to the chunks of the HDF5 dataset to ensure that the resulting Dask array has the same chunking pattern.
Note that the resulting Dask array is lazily evaluated, which means that it does not load the entire array into memory at once, but rather evaluates only the necessary chunks on-demand. This allows for efficient computation on large and complex datasets.
