Description : Scientific Compression Library (SCIL)
The Scientific Compression Library (SCIL) is a meta-compressor that allows
users
to set various quantities that define the acceptable error and the expected
performance behavior.
The library aims to choose the appropriate chain of algorithms to yield the
users requirements
(this feature is still under development). This approach is a crucial step
towards a
scientifically safe use of much-needed lossy data compression, because it
disentangles the tasks
of determining scientific ground characteristics of tolerable noise, from the
task of
determining an optimal compression strategy given target noise levels and
constraints.
Future algorithms are used without change in the application code, once they
are integrated into SCIL.
SCIL also comes with a pattern library to generate various relevant synthetic
test patterns.
Further tools are provided to plot, add noise or to compress CSV and NetCDF3
files.
Internally, support functions simplify the development of new algorithms and
the testing.
This is then an optional dependency of ESDM, also being packaged.
