Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install blosc on Fedora 34.

What is blosc

Blosc is a compression library designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional non-compressed memory fetch. Compression ratios are not very high, but the decompression is very fast. Blosc is meant not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but also to accelerate memory-bound computations. blosc 1.21.0 1.fc34 x86_64 60 k blosc-1.21.0-1.fc34.src.rpm fedora High performance compressor optimized for binary data https MIT Blosc is a compression library designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional non-compressed memory fetch.
