Full description
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. This is the python wrapper.
