PACKAGE NAME: c-blosc-1.21.4-x86_64-1_dce.tgz PACKAGE MIRROR: http://slackdce.radioclub.ar/slackdce/15.0/x86_64/ PACKAGE LOCATION: ./libraries/c-blosc PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 520 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 1210 K PACKAGE REQUIRED: PACKAGE CONFLICTS: PACKAGE SUGGESTS: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: c-blosc: c-blosc (a high performance compressor optimized for binary data) c-blosc: c-blosc: It has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster c-blosc: than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach c-blosc: via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc is the first compressor that is meant c-blosc: not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, c-blosc: but also to accelerate memory-bound computations. c-blosc: It uses the blocking technique so as to reduce activity in the c-blosc: memory bus as much as possible. In short, this technique works by c-blosc: dividing datasets in blocks that are small enough to fit in caches. c-blosc:
