Description : Floating Point array compression library
fpzip is a library and command-line utility for lossless and optionally lossy
compression of 2D and 3D floating-point arrays. fpzip assumes spatially
correlated scalar-valued data, such as regularly sampled continuous functions,
and is not suitable for compressing unstructured streams of floating-point
numbers. In lossy mode, fpzip discards some number of least significant
mantissa bits and losslessly compresses the result. fpzip currently supports
IEEE-754 single (32-bit) and double (64-bit) precision floating-point data.
fpzip is written in C++ but has a C compatible API that can be called from
C and other languages. It conforms to the C++98 and C89 language standards.
fpzip is released as Open Source under a three-clause BSD license.
This is a dependency of other packages - A scientific compression library
that is an extension for NetCDF/HDF5, amongst others.
