Description
Hi,
I would like to read images from pre-saved HDF5 file? With pytorch dataloader, e.g. I create the following data class and put it in dataloader.
class H5Dataset(Dataset):
def __init__(self, h5_path):
self.h5_path = h5_path
self.h5_file = h5py.File(h5_path, 'r')
self.length = len(h5py.File(h5_path, 'r'))
def __getitem__(self, index):
record = self.h5_file[str(index)]
return (
record['data'].value,
record['target'].value,
)
def __len__(self):
return self.length
Is it possible to use DALI to read HDF5, will it be faster than pytorch dataloader?
Thank you.

Research direction
No project file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating DALI's existing input operators and data-format coverage, then establish whether HDF5 reading is supported and how it compares with the shown PyTorch DataLoader; done requires a clear answer or an explicitly scoped implementation request.
