  <longdescription lang="en">
  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.
  python-blosc a Python package that wraps Blosc.
