Python-Blosc2: Compress Better, Compute Bigger

N-dim & compressed arrays

NDArray objects allow for efficient storage and manipulation of N-dim data, making it easy to work with large datasets.

Excellent compression

Combines advanced codecs and filters for efficient compression, reducing storage space while maintaining high performance.

Optimized compute engine

It teams with internal compression to compute complex mathematical expressions and reductions at high speed.

Streamlined format

Blosc2’s format, with specs taking less than 4000 words, makes it easy to integrate with other systems and tools.

Flexible storage

Can store data in memory, disk, or network, adapting to your needs and facilitates integration into various systems.

Two-level partitions

Leverages multi-level CPU caches, enhancing data access and performance for modern multi-core processors.
