Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : c-blosc Version : 1.4.4 Upstream Author : Francesc Alted <franc...@blosc.org> * URL : https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc * License : expat Programming Lang: C Description : an extremely fast, multi-threaded, meta-compressor library
it allows you to compress – but especially – decompress your data, fast. What Makes Blosc Different? High performance compressor, optimized for binary data (but text is fine too). Designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than a memcpy() OS call. Achieving that will obviously depend on the dataset, but that is the goal. Leverages SIMD (SSE2) and multi-threading capabilities present in modern multi-core processors. APIs for C and Python. It can use different, very fast compressors. Just write your code once and get access to an amazing range of compressors, like BloscLZ, LZ4, LZ4HC, Snappy or Zlib. -- pytables currently uses a convienient copy, and openvdb could use this lib once available. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
