Blosc is a high performance compressor optimized for binary data. It
|
|
has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than
|
|
the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a
|
|
memcpy() OS call. Blosc works well for compressing numerical arrays
|
|
that contains data with relatively low entropy, like sparse data, time
|
|
series, grids with regular-spaced values, etc.
|
|
|
|
py-blosc is a Python package that wraps Blosc.
