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. </longdescription> <upstream> <remote-id type="pypi">blosc</remote-id> <remote-id type="github">Blosc/python-blosc</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
