* Package name : r-bioc-rhdf5filters Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Author : Mike Smith * URL : https://bioconductor.org/packages/rhdf5filters/ * License : BSD-2-clause Programming Lang: GNU R Description : GNU R HDF5 compression filters This Bioconductor package provides a collection of compression filters for use with HDF5 datasets. . One of the advantages of using HDF5 is that data stored on disk can be compressed, reducing both the space required to store them and the time needed to read those data. This data compression is applied as part of the HDF5 “filter pipeline” that modifies data during I/O operations. HDF5 includes several filter algorithms as standard, and the version of the HDF5 library found in Rhdf5lib is additionally compiled with support for the deflate and szip compression filters which rely on third-party compression libraries. Collectively HDF5 refer to these as the “internal” filters. It is possible to use any combination of these (including none) when writing data using rhdf5.
