Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libblosc1
on Kali Linux.
What is libblosc1
libblosc1 is:
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 is meant not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but also to accelerate memory-bound computations.
It uses the blocking technique to reduce activity on the memory bus as much as possible. In short, this technique works by dividing datasets in blocks that are small enough to fit in caches of modern processors and perform compression / decompression there. It also leverages, if available, SIMD instructions (SSE2) and multi-threading capabilities of CPUs, in order to accelerate the compression / decompression process to a maximum.
