Yup, you can use Blosc in plain HDF5 too. The HDF Group has registered it, so you can safely it with your HDF5 files and be able to retrieve that data with any other HDF5 tool that includes support for Blosc. > And, I don't know if by 'shuffle' that is the > compressor you were talking about. No, shuffle is an independent filter that comes integrated with HDF5 itself. Blosc comes with an optimized version of shuffle too, but it works similarly to the one in HDF5 (it just runs faster). -- Francesc Alted _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
