Description

high performance meta-compressor optimized for binary data
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 is meant not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-
disk or in-memory, but also to accelerate memory-bound computations.
.
It uses the blocking technique to reduce activity on the memory bus as
much as possible. In short, this technique works by dividing datasets in
blocks that are small enough to fit in caches of modern processors and
perform compression / decompression there. It also leverages, if
available, SIMD instructions (SSE2) and multi-threading capabilities of
CPUs, in order to accelerate the compression / decompression process to a
maximum.
