   .. rubric:: Notes
   
   
   This function can be used anywhere that a memory address is available in
   Python. For example the Numpy "__array_interface__['data'][0]" construct,
   or when using the ctypes modules.
   
   Importantly, the user is responsible for making sure that the memory
   address is valid and that the memory pointed to is contiguous. Passing a
   non-valid address has a high likelihood of crashing the interpreter by
   segfault.

           The decompressed data in form of a Python str / bytes object.
           If as_bytearray is True then this will be a bytearray object, otherwise
           this will be a str/ bytes object.

.. py:module:: blosc


.. py:function:: clib_info(cname)
   :module: blosc

   
   Return info for compression libraries in C library.
   
   
   :Parameters:
   
       **cname** : str
   
           The compressor name.
   
   :Returns:
   
       **out** : tuple
   
           The associated library name and version.
   
   
.. py:function:: compressor_list()
   :module: blosc

   
   Returns a list of compressors available in C library.
   
   
   :Parameters:
   
       **None**
   
           
   :Returns:
   
       **out** : list
   
           The list of names.
   
   
.. py:function:: detect_number_of_cores()
   :module: blosc

   
   Detect the number of cores in this system.
   
   
   :Returns:
   
       **out** : int
   
           The number of cores in this system.
   
   
.. py:function:: free_resources()
   :module: blosc

   
   Free possible memory temporaries and thread resources.
   
   
   :Returns:
   
       **out** : None
   
           
   .. rubric:: Notes
   
   
   Blosc maintain a pool of threads waiting for work as well as some
   temporary space.  You can use this function to release these
   resources when you are not going to use Blosc for a long while.
   
   
   .. rubric:: Examples
   
   
   >>> blosc.free_resources()
   >>>
   
   
.. py:function:: get_clib(bytesobj)
   :module: blosc

   
   Return the name of the compression library for Blosc `bytesobj` buffer.
   
   
   :Parameters:
   
       **bytesobj** : str / bytes
   
           The compressed buffer.
   
   :Returns:
   
       **out** : str
   
           The name of the compression library.
   
   
.. py:function:: set_blocksize(blocksize)
   :module: blosc

   
   Force the use of a specific blocksize.  If 0, an automatic
   blocksize will be used (the default).
   
   
   .. rubric:: Notes
   
   
   This is a low-level function and is recommened for expert users only.
   
   
   .. rubric:: Examples
   
   
   >>> blosc.set_blocksize(512)
   
   
.. py:function:: set_nthreads(nthreads)
   :module: blosc

   
   Set the number of threads to be used during Blosc operation.
   
   
   :Parameters:
   
       **nthreads** : int
   
           The number of threads to be used during Blosc operation.
   
   :Returns:
   
       **out** : int
   
           The previous number of used threads.
   
   
   :Raises:
   
       **ValueError**
   
           If nthreads is larger that the maximum number of threads blosc can use.
   
   
   .. rubric:: Notes
   
   
   The number of threads for Blosc is the maximum number of cores
   detected on your machine (via `detect_number_of_cores`).  In some
   cases Blosc gets better results if you set the number of threads
   to a value slightly below than your number of cores.
   
   
   .. rubric:: Examples
   
   
   Set the number of threads to 2 and then to 1:
   
   >>> oldn = blosc.set_nthreads(2)
   >>> blosc.set_nthreads(1)
   2
   
   
.. py:function:: set_releasegil( gitstate )
   :module: blosc

   
   Sets a boolean on whether to release the Python global inter-lock (GIL) 
   during c-blosc compress and decompress operations or not.  This defaults 
   to False.
   
   
   .. rubric:: Notes
   
   
   Designed to be used with larger chunk sizes and a ThreadPool.  There is a 
   small performance penalty with releasing the GIL that will more harshly 
   penalize small block sizes.
   
   
   .. rubric:: Examples
   
   
   >>> oldReleaseState = blosc.set_releasegil(True)
   
   
.. py:function:: print_versions()
   :module: blosc

   
   Print all the versions of software that python-blosc relies on.

how to use it in a Python environment) is pretty easy.  It basically mimics
the API of the <literal>zlib</literal> module included in the standard Python library.</paragraph><paragraph>Here are some examples on how to use it.  For the full documentation, please
refer to the <reference name="Library Reference" refuri="http://python-blosc.blosc.org/reference.html">Library Reference</reference><target ids="['library-reference']" names="['library reference']" refuri="http://python-blosc.blosc.org/reference.html"/>
section.</paragraph><paragraph>Most of the times in this tutorial have been obtained using a VM with 2 cores
on top of a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3380M CPU @ 2.90GHz.</paragraph><section ids="compressing-and-decompressing-with-blosc" names="compressing\ and\ decompressing\ with\ blosc"><title>Compressing and decompressing with <literal>blosc</literal></title><paragraph>Let’s start creating a NumPy array with 80 MB full of data:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> bytes_array = a.tostring()  # get an array of bytes</literal_block><paragraph>and let’s compare Blosc operation with <literal>zlib</literal> (please note that we are
using IPython for leveraging its timing capabilities):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import zlib
>>> %timeit zlib.compress(bytes_array)
1 loops, best of 3: 4.65 s per loop   # ~ 17 MB/s
>>> import blosc
>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.7 ms per loop # ~ 4.5 GB/s and 260x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>but Blosc can use different codecs under the hood. Let’s try the LZ4 codec
(instead of the BloscLZ which is the default):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.77 ms per loop  # ~ 9.1 GB/s and 530x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>It is important to note that this is quite more than the speed of a memcpy()
in this machine:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit a.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)
875274
>>> round(len(zpacked) / float(len(zlibpacked)), 3)
60.546   # ZLib codec reaches 60x more compression than naked ZLib</literal_block><paragraph>Here it is a plot with the different compression ratios achieved:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="../_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'cratio-blosc-codecs.png'}" scale="75" uri="cratio-blosc-codecs.png"/></reference><paragraph>The explanation for this apparently shocking result is that Blosc uses
filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)
1 loops, best of 3: 275 ms per loop  # ~ 290 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(blzpacked)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.3 ms per loop  # ~ 4.3 GB/s and 16x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(lz4packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 41.9 ms per loop  # ~ 1.9 GB/s and 6.5x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(zlibpacked)
10 loops, best of 3: 40.7 ms per loop  # ~ 2.0 GB/S and 6.8x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>Here we see a couple of things:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>All the internal codecs in Blosc are way faster than naked ZLib</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph>The fastest codec for decompressing here is BloscLZ (remember that LZ4 was
the fastest for compression).</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list><paragraph>The next plot summarizes the speed benchmarks above:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="../_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'speed-blosc-codecs.png'}" scale="75" uri="speed-blosc-codecs.png"/></reference><paragraph>These results should reinforce the idea that there is not a single codec
that wins in all areas (compression ratio, compression speed and
decompression speed) and each has its pro’s and con’s. It is up to the user
to choose whatever fits better to him (hint: there is no replacement for
experimentation).</paragraph><paragraph>Finally, here it is the way to discover all the internal codecs inside your
Blosc package:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> blosc.cnames
['blosclz', 'lz4', 'lz4hc', 'snappy', 'zlib', 'zstd']</literal_block><paragraph><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: the actual list of codecs may change depening on how you have
compiled the underlying C-Blosc library.</paragraph></section><section ids="using-different-filters" names="using\ different\ filters"><title>Using different filters</title><paragraph>In the same way that you can use different codecs inside Blosc, you can use
different filters too (currently <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFLE</literal>). These allow the
integrated compressors to compress more efficiently or not, depending on
your datasets.</paragraph><paragraph>Here it is an example using the <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> filter:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.SHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 112 ms, sys: 4 ms, total: 116 ms
Wall time: 29.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
6986533</literal_block><paragraph>Here there is another example using <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.BITSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 120 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 128 ms
Wall time: 32.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
5942257     #  ~ 1.2x smaller than blosclz/shuffle</literal_block><paragraph>You can also deactivate filters completely with <literal>NOSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.NOSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 416 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 424 ms
Wall time: 107 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
74323591    #  just a 7% of compression wrt the original buffer</literal_block><paragraph>So you have quite a bit of flexibility on choosing different codecs and
filters inside Blosc. Again, depending on the dataset you have and the
requeriments on performance, you may want to experiment a bit before
sticking with your preferred one.</paragraph></section><section ids="supporting-the-buffer-interface" names="supporting\ the\ buffer\ interface"><title>Supporting the buffer interface</title><paragraph>python-blosc supports compressing and decompressing from any bytes-like
object that supports the buffer-interface: this includes <literal>buffer</literal>,
<literal>memoryview</literal> and <literal>bytearray</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> input_bytes = b"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'</literal_block><paragraph>Note however, that there are subtle differences between Python 2.x and 3.x.
For example, in Python 2.x we can compress/decompress both <literal>str</literal> and <literal>unicode</literal>
types, whereas in Python 3.x we can only compress ‘binary’ data which does
<emphasis>not</emphasis> include <literal>unicode</literal>.</paragraph></section><section ids="packaging-numpy-arrays" names="packaging\ numpy\ arrays"><title>Packaging NumPy arrays</title><paragraph>Want to use <literal>blosc</literal> to compress and decompress NumPy objects without having to
worry about passing the typesize for optimal compression, or having to create
the final container for decompression?  <literal>blosc</literal> comes with the <literal>pack_array</literal>
and <literal>unpack_array</literal> to perform this in a handy way:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> packed = blosc.pack_array(a)
>>> %timeit blosc.pack_array(a)
10 loops, best of 3: 104 ms per loop  # ~ 770 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.unpack_array(packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 76.3 ms per loop  # ~ 1 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>Although this is a convenient way for compressing/decompressing NumPy
arrays, this method uses pickle/unpickle behind the scenes.  This step
implies additional copies, which takes both memory and time.</paragraph></section><section ids="compressing-from-a-data-pointer" names="compressing\ from\ a\ data\ pointer"><title>Compressing from a data pointer</title><paragraph>For avoiding the data copy problem in the previous section, <literal>blosc</literal>
comes with a couple of lower-level functions: <literal>compress_ptr</literal> and
<literal>decompress_ptr</literal>.  Here are they in action:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)
>>> %timeit blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)
10 loops, best of 3: 17.8 ms per loop   # ~ 4.5 GB/s
>>> a2 = np.empty(a.size, dtype=a.dtype)
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress_ptr(c, a2.__array_interface__['data'][0])
100 loops, best of 3: 11 ms per loop   #  ~ 7.3 GB/s
>>> (a == a2).all()
True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong

on top of a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3380M CPU @ 2.90GHz.</paragraph><section ids="compressing-and-decompressing-with-blosc" names="compressing\ and\ decompressing\ with\ blosc"><title>Compressing and decompressing with <literal>blosc</literal></title><paragraph>Let’s start creating a NumPy array with 80 MB full of data:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> bytes_array = a.tostring()  # get an array of bytes</literal_block><paragraph>and let’s compare Blosc operation with <literal>zlib</literal> (please note that we are
using IPython for leveraging its timing capabilities):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import zlib
>>> %timeit zlib.compress(bytes_array)
1 loops, best of 3: 4.65 s per loop   # ~ 17 MB/s
>>> import blosc
>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.7 ms per loop # ~ 4.5 GB/s and 260x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>but Blosc can use different codecs under the hood. Let’s try the LZ4 codec
(instead of the BloscLZ which is the default):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.77 ms per loop  # ~ 9.1 GB/s and 530x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>It is important to note that this is quite more than the speed of a memcpy()
in this machine:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit a.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)
875274
>>> round(len(zpacked) / float(len(zlibpacked)), 3)
60.546   # ZLib codec reaches 60x more compression than naked ZLib</literal_block><paragraph>Here it is a plot with the different compression ratios achieved:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="../_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'cratio-blosc-codecs.png'}" scale="75" uri="cratio-blosc-codecs.png"/></reference><paragraph>The explanation for this apparently shocking result is that Blosc uses
filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)
1 loops, best of 3: 275 ms per loop  # ~ 290 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(blzpacked)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.3 ms per loop  # ~ 4.3 GB/s and 16x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(lz4packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 41.9 ms per loop  # ~ 1.9 GB/s and 6.5x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(zlibpacked)
10 loops, best of 3: 40.7 ms per loop  # ~ 2.0 GB/S and 6.8x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>Here we see a couple of things:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>All the internal codecs in Blosc are way faster than naked ZLib</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph>The fastest codec for decompressing here is BloscLZ (remember that LZ4 was
the fastest for compression).</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list><paragraph>The next plot summarizes the speed benchmarks above:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="../_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'speed-blosc-codecs.png'}" scale="75" uri="speed-blosc-codecs.png"/></reference><paragraph>These results should reinforce the idea that there is not a single codec
that wins in all areas (compression ratio, compression speed and
decompression speed) and each has its pro’s and con’s. It is up to the user
to choose whatever fits better to him (hint: there is no replacement for
experimentation).</paragraph><paragraph>Finally, here it is the way to discover all the internal codecs inside your
Blosc package:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> blosc.cnames
['blosclz', 'lz4', 'lz4hc', 'snappy', 'zlib', 'zstd']</literal_block><paragraph><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: the actual list of codecs may change depening on how you have
compiled the underlying C-Blosc library.</paragraph></section><section ids="using-different-filters" names="using\ different\ filters"><title>Using different filters</title><paragraph>In the same way that you can use different codecs inside Blosc, you can use
different filters too (currently <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFLE</literal>). These allow the
integrated compressors to compress more efficiently or not, depending on
your datasets.</paragraph><paragraph>Here it is an example using the <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> filter:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.SHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 112 ms, sys: 4 ms, total: 116 ms
Wall time: 29.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
6986533</literal_block><paragraph>Here there is another example using <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.BITSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 120 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 128 ms
Wall time: 32.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
5942257     #  ~ 1.2x smaller than blosclz/shuffle</literal_block><paragraph>You can also deactivate filters completely with <literal>NOSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.NOSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 416 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 424 ms
Wall time: 107 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
74323591    #  just a 7% of compression wrt the original buffer</literal_block><paragraph>So you have quite a bit of flexibility on choosing different codecs and
filters inside Blosc. Again, depending on the dataset you have and the
requeriments on performance, you may want to experiment a bit before
sticking with your preferred one.</paragraph></section><section ids="supporting-the-buffer-interface" names="supporting\ the\ buffer\ interface"><title>Supporting the buffer interface</title><paragraph>python-blosc supports compressing and decompressing from any bytes-like
object that supports the buffer-interface: this includes <literal>buffer</literal>,
<literal>memoryview</literal> and <literal>bytearray</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> input_bytes = b"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

'\x02\x01\x03\x01\x1a\x00\x00\x00\x1a\x00\x00\x00*\x00\x00\x00abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

>>> blosc.decompress(compressed)
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> blosc.decompress(memoryview(compressed))
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> blosc.decompress(bytearray(compressed))
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'</literal_block><paragraph>Note however, that there are subtle differences between Python 2.x and 3.x.
For example, in Python 2.x we can compress/decompress both <literal>str</literal> and <literal>unicode</literal>
types, whereas in Python 3.x we can only compress ‘binary’ data which does
<emphasis>not</emphasis> include <literal>unicode</literal>.</paragraph></section><section ids="packaging-numpy-arrays" names="packaging\ numpy\ arrays"><title>Packaging NumPy arrays</title><paragraph>Want to use <literal>blosc</literal> to compress and decompress NumPy objects without having to
worry about passing the typesize for optimal compression, or having to create
the final container for decompression?  <literal>blosc</literal> comes with the <literal>pack_array</literal>
and <literal>unpack_array</literal> to perform this in a handy way:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> packed = blosc.pack_array(a)
>>> %timeit blosc.pack_array(a)
10 loops, best of 3: 104 ms per loop  # ~ 770 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.unpack_array(packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 76.3 ms per loop  # ~ 1 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>Although this is a convenient way for compressing/decompressing NumPy
arrays, this method uses pickle/unpickle behind the scenes.  This step
implies additional copies, which takes both memory and time.</paragraph></section><section ids="compressing-from-a-data-pointer" names="compressing\ from\ a\ data\ pointer"><title>Compressing from a data pointer</title><paragraph>For avoiding the data copy problem in the previous section, <literal>blosc</literal>
comes with a couple of lower-level functions: <literal>compress_ptr</literal> and
<literal>decompress_ptr</literal>.  Here are they in action:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)
>>> %timeit blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)
10 loops, best of 3: 17.8 ms per loop   # ~ 4.5 GB/s
>>> a2 = np.empty(a.size, dtype=a.dtype)
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress_ptr(c, a2.__array_interface__['data'][0])
100 loops, best of 3: 11 ms per loop   #  ~ 7.3 GB/s
>>> (a == a2).all()
True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong
pointer or wrong size).</paragraph><paragraph>On the other hand, and contrarily to the <literal>pack_array</literal> / <literal>unpack_array</literal>

the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)

3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)

filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)

that wins in all areas (compression ratio, compression speed and
decompression speed) and each has its pro’s and con’s. It is up to the user
to choose whatever fits better to him (hint: there is no replacement for
experimentation).</paragraph><paragraph>Finally, here it is the way to discover all the internal codecs inside your
Blosc package:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> blosc.cnames

>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> bytes_array = a.tostring()  # get an array of bytes</literal_block><paragraph>and let’s compare Blosc operation with <literal>zlib</literal> (please note that we are
using IPython for leveraging its timing capabilities):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import zlib
>>> %timeit zlib.compress(bytes_array)
1 loops, best of 3: 4.65 s per loop   # ~ 17 MB/s
>>> import blosc
>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.7 ms per loop # ~ 4.5 GB/s and 260x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>but Blosc can use different codecs under the hood. Let’s try the LZ4 codec
(instead of the BloscLZ which is the default):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.77 ms per loop  # ~ 9.1 GB/s and 530x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>It is important to note that this is quite more than the speed of a memcpy()
in this machine:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit a.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)
875274
>>> round(len(zpacked) / float(len(zlibpacked)), 3)
60.546   # ZLib codec reaches 60x more compression than naked ZLib</literal_block><paragraph>Here it is a plot with the different compression ratios achieved:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="../_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'cratio-blosc-codecs.png'}" height="600" scale="75" uri="../_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png" width="800"/></reference><paragraph>The explanation for this apparently shocking result is that Blosc uses
filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)

the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve

that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting

the API of the <literal>zlib</literal> module included in the standard Python library.</paragraph><paragraph>Here are some examples on how to use it.  For the full documentation, please

>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> bytes_array = a.tostring()  # get an array of bytes</literal_block><paragraph>and let’s compare Blosc operation with <literal>zlib</literal> (please note that we are
using IPython for leveraging its timing capabilities):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import zlib
>>> %timeit zlib.compress(bytes_array)
1 loops, best of 3: 4.65 s per loop   # ~ 17 MB/s
>>> import blosc
>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.7 ms per loop # ~ 4.5 GB/s and 260x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>but Blosc can use different codecs under the hood. Let’s try the LZ4 codec
(instead of the BloscLZ which is the default):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.77 ms per loop  # ~ 9.1 GB/s and 530x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>It is important to note that this is quite more than the speed of a memcpy()
in this machine:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit a.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)

achieved by <literal>blosc</literal>:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>The information content of the underlying data, and <literal>chunksize</literal>: the size of
the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve

that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting
ones and a Python <literal>ThreadPool</literal> or similar object can be used for parallel
processing either with or without <literal>blosc</literal> threads. Initial testing suggests
that an equal mix of <literal>ThreadPool</literal> and <literal>blosc</literal> threads is near optimal. I.e. a
computer with 16 cores would have 4 <literal>blosc</literal> threads and 4 <literal>ThreadPool</literal> threads.

comes with a couple of lower-level functions: <literal>compress_ptr</literal> and
<literal>decompress_ptr</literal>.  Here are they in action:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)

>>> (a == a2).all()
True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong
pointer or wrong size).</paragraph><paragraph>On the other hand, and contrarily to the <literal>pack_array</literal> / <literal>unpack_array</literal>
method, the <literal>compress_ptr</literal> / <literal>decompress_ptr</literal> functions do not need to
make internal copies of the data buffers, so they are extremely fast
(as much as the C-Blosc library can be), but you have to provide a
container when doing the de-serialization.</paragraph><paragraph><literal>blosc</literal> has a maximum <literal>blocksize</literal> of 2**31 bytes = 2 GB. Larger <literal>numpy</literal> arrays must
be chunked by slicing, for example as:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = b''
>>> for index in np.arange( a.shape[0] ):
    c += blosc.compress_ptr(a[index,...].__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)</literal_block></section><section ids="fine-tuning-compression-parameters" names="fine-tuning\ compression\ parameters"><title>Fine-tuning compression parameters</title><paragraph>There are a number of parameters that affect the de/compression bandwidth
achieved by <literal>blosc</literal>:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>The information content of the underlying data, and <literal>chunksize</literal>: the size of
the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve
compression ratios when the</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>clevel</literal>: the compression level called for the algorithm.  Called as an
argument to <literal>compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>cname</literal>: the compressor codec itself.  Each codec has its own characteristics
that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting
ones and a Python <literal>ThreadPool</literal> or similar object can be used for parallel
processing either with or without <literal>blosc</literal> threads. Initial testing suggests
that an equal mix of <literal>ThreadPool</literal> and <literal>blosc</literal> threads is near optimal. I.e. a
computer with 16 cores would have 4 <literal>blosc</literal> threads and 4 <literal>ThreadPool</literal> threads.
An example of combining <literal>blosc</literal> and <literal>ThreadPool</literal> may be found in
<literal>bench/threadpool.py</literal>.</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list></section><section ids="links-to-external-discussions-on-blosc-optimization" names="links\ to\ external\ discussions\ on\ blosc\ optimization"><title>Links to external discussions on <literal>blosc</literal> optimization</title><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph><reference name="Synthetic Benchmarks" refuri="http://www.blosc.org/synthetic-benchmarks.html">Synthetic Benchmarks</reference><target ids="['synthetic-benchmarks']" names="['synthetic benchmarks']" refuri="http://www.blosc.org/synthetic-benchmarks.html"/> by Francesc Alted</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><reference name="Genotype compressor benchmark" refuri="http://alimanfoo.github.io/2016/09/21/genotype-compression-benchmark.html">Genotype compressor benchmark</reference><target ids="['genotype-compressor-benchmark']" names="['genotype compressor benchmark']" refuri="http://alimanfoo.github.io/2016/09/21/genotype-compression-benchmark.html"/> by Alistair Miles</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list></section></section></document>

worry about passing the typesize for optimal compression, or having to create
the final container for decompression?  <literal>blosc</literal> comes with the <literal>pack_array</literal>

True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong
pointer or wrong size).</paragraph><paragraph>On the other hand, and contrarily to the <literal>pack_array</literal> / <literal>unpack_array</literal>
method, the <literal>compress_ptr</literal> / <literal>decompress_ptr</literal> functions do not need to
make internal copies of the data buffers, so they are extremely fast

achieved by <literal>blosc</literal>:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>The information content of the underlying data, and <literal>chunksize</literal>: the size of
the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve

that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting
ones and a Python <literal>ThreadPool</literal> or similar object can be used for parallel
processing either with or without <literal>blosc</literal> threads. Initial testing suggests
that an equal mix of <literal>ThreadPool</literal> and <literal>blosc</literal> threads is near optimal. I.e. a
computer with 16 cores would have 4 <literal>blosc</literal> threads and 4 <literal>ThreadPool</literal> threads.

worry about passing the typesize for optimal compression, or having to create
the final container for decompression?  <literal>blosc</literal> comes with the <literal>pack_array</literal>
and <literal>unpack_array</literal> to perform this in a handy way:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)

comes with a couple of lower-level functions: <literal>compress_ptr</literal> and
<literal>decompress_ptr</literal>.  Here are they in action:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)

100 loops, best of 3: 11 ms per loop   #  ~ 7.3 GB/s
>>> (a == a2).all()
True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong
pointer or wrong size).</paragraph><paragraph>On the other hand, and contrarily to the <literal>pack_array</literal> / <literal>unpack_array</literal>
method, the <literal>compress_ptr</literal> / <literal>decompress_ptr</literal> functions do not need to
make internal copies of the data buffers, so they are extremely fast
(as much as the C-Blosc library can be), but you have to provide a
container when doing the de-serialization.</paragraph><paragraph><literal>blosc</literal> has a maximum <literal>blocksize</literal> of 2**31 bytes = 2 GB. Larger <literal>numpy</literal> arrays must

achieved by <literal>blosc</literal>:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>The information content of the underlying data, and <literal>chunksize</literal>: the size of
the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve

that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting
ones and a Python <literal>ThreadPool</literal> or similar object can be used for parallel
processing either with or without <literal>blosc</literal> threads. Initial testing suggests
that an equal mix of <literal>ThreadPool</literal> and <literal>blosc</literal> threads is near optimal. I.e. a
computer with 16 cores would have 4 <literal>blosc</literal> threads and 4 <literal>ThreadPool</literal> threads.
An example of combining <literal>blosc</literal> and <literal>ThreadPool</literal> may be found in

10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)
875274
>>> round(len(zpacked) / float(len(zlibpacked)), 3)
60.546   # ZLib codec reaches 60x more compression than naked ZLib</literal_block><paragraph>Here it is a plot with the different compression ratios achieved:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'cratio-blosc-codecs.png'}" scale="75" uri="cratio-blosc-codecs.png"/></reference><paragraph>The explanation for this apparently shocking result is that Blosc uses
filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)
1 loops, best of 3: 275 ms per loop  # ~ 290 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(blzpacked)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.3 ms per loop  # ~ 4.3 GB/s and 16x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(lz4packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 41.9 ms per loop  # ~ 1.9 GB/s and 6.5x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(zlibpacked)
10 loops, best of 3: 40.7 ms per loop  # ~ 2.0 GB/S and 6.8x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>Here we see a couple of things:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>All the internal codecs in Blosc are way faster than naked ZLib</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph>The fastest codec for decompressing here is BloscLZ (remember that LZ4 was
the fastest for compression).</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list><paragraph>The next plot summarizes the speed benchmarks above:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'speed-blosc-codecs.png'}" scale="75" uri="speed-blosc-codecs.png"/></reference><paragraph>These results should reinforce the idea that there is not a single codec
that wins in all areas (compression ratio, compression speed and
decompression speed) and each has its pro’s and con’s. It is up to the user
to choose whatever fits better to him (hint: there is no replacement for
experimentation).</paragraph><paragraph>Finally, here it is the way to discover all the internal codecs inside your
Blosc package:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> blosc.cnames
['blosclz', 'lz4', 'lz4hc', 'snappy', 'zlib', 'zstd']</literal_block><paragraph><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: the actual list of codecs may change depening on how you have

how to use it in a Python environment) is pretty easy.  It basically mimics
the API of the <literal>zlib</literal> module included in the standard Python library.</paragraph><paragraph>Here are some examples on how to use it.  For the full documentation, please
refer to the <reference name="Library Reference" refuri="http://python-blosc.blosc.org/reference.html">Library Reference</reference><target ids="['library-reference']" names="['library reference']" refuri="http://python-blosc.blosc.org/reference.html"/>
section.</paragraph><paragraph>Most of the times in this tutorial have been obtained using a VM with 2 cores
on top of a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3380M CPU @ 2.90GHz.</paragraph><section ids="compressing-and-decompressing-with-blosc" names="compressing\ and\ decompressing\ with\ blosc"><title>Compressing and decompressing with <literal>blosc</literal></title><paragraph>Let’s start creating a NumPy array with 80 MB full of data:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> bytes_array = a.tostring()  # get an array of bytes</literal_block><paragraph>and let’s compare Blosc operation with <literal>zlib</literal> (please note that we are
using IPython for leveraging its timing capabilities):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import zlib
>>> %timeit zlib.compress(bytes_array)
1 loops, best of 3: 4.65 s per loop   # ~ 17 MB/s
>>> import blosc
>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.7 ms per loop # ~ 4.5 GB/s and 260x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>but Blosc can use different codecs under the hood. Let’s try the LZ4 codec
(instead of the BloscLZ which is the default):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.77 ms per loop  # ~ 9.1 GB/s and 530x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>It is important to note that this is quite more than the speed of a memcpy()
in this machine:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit a.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)
875274
>>> round(len(zpacked) / float(len(zlibpacked)), 3)
60.546   # ZLib codec reaches 60x more compression than naked ZLib</literal_block><paragraph>Here it is a plot with the different compression ratios achieved:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'cratio-blosc-codecs.png'}" height="600" scale="75" uri="_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png" width="800"/></reference><paragraph>The explanation for this apparently shocking result is that Blosc uses
filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)
1 loops, best of 3: 275 ms per loop  # ~ 290 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(blzpacked)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.3 ms per loop  # ~ 4.3 GB/s and 16x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(lz4packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 41.9 ms per loop  # ~ 1.9 GB/s and 6.5x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(zlibpacked)
10 loops, best of 3: 40.7 ms per loop  # ~ 2.0 GB/S and 6.8x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>Here we see a couple of things:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>All the internal codecs in Blosc are way faster than naked ZLib</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph>The fastest codec for decompressing here is BloscLZ (remember that LZ4 was
the fastest for compression).</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list><paragraph>The next plot summarizes the speed benchmarks above:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'speed-blosc-codecs.png'}" height="600" scale="75" uri="_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png" width="800"/></reference><paragraph>These results should reinforce the idea that there is not a single codec
that wins in all areas (compression ratio, compression speed and
decompression speed) and each has its pro’s and con’s. It is up to the user
to choose whatever fits better to him (hint: there is no replacement for
experimentation).</paragraph><paragraph>Finally, here it is the way to discover all the internal codecs inside your
Blosc package:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> blosc.cnames
['blosclz', 'lz4', 'lz4hc', 'snappy', 'zlib', 'zstd']</literal_block><paragraph><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: the actual list of codecs may change depening on how you have
compiled the underlying C-Blosc library.</paragraph></section><section ids="using-different-filters" names="using\ different\ filters"><title>Using different filters</title><paragraph>In the same way that you can use different codecs inside Blosc, you can use
different filters too (currently <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFLE</literal>). These allow the
integrated compressors to compress more efficiently or not, depending on
your datasets.</paragraph><paragraph>Here it is an example using the <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> filter:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.SHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 112 ms, sys: 4 ms, total: 116 ms
Wall time: 29.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
6986533</literal_block><paragraph>Here there is another example using <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.BITSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 120 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 128 ms
Wall time: 32.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
5942257     #  ~ 1.2x smaller than blosclz/shuffle</literal_block><paragraph>You can also deactivate filters completely with <literal>NOSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.NOSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 416 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 424 ms
Wall time: 107 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
74323591    #  just a 7% of compression wrt the original buffer</literal_block><paragraph>So you have quite a bit of flexibility on choosing different codecs and
filters inside Blosc. Again, depending on the dataset you have and the
requeriments on performance, you may want to experiment a bit before
sticking with your preferred one.</paragraph></section><section ids="supporting-the-buffer-interface" names="supporting\ the\ buffer\ interface"><title>Supporting the buffer interface</title><paragraph>python-blosc supports compressing and decompressing from any bytes-like

<emphasis>not</emphasis> include <literal>unicode</literal>.</paragraph></section><section ids="packaging-numpy-arrays" names="packaging\ numpy\ arrays"><title>Packaging NumPy arrays</title><paragraph>Want to use <literal>blosc</literal> to compress and decompress NumPy objects without having to
worry about passing the typesize for optimal compression, or having to create
the final container for decompression?  <literal>blosc</literal> comes with the <literal>pack_array</literal>
and <literal>unpack_array</literal> to perform this in a handy way:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)

>>> %timeit blosc.unpack_array(packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 76.3 ms per loop  # ~ 1 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>Although this is a convenient way for compressing/decompressing NumPy
arrays, this method uses pickle/unpickle behind the scenes.  This step
implies additional copies, which takes both memory and time.</paragraph></section><section ids="compressing-from-a-data-pointer" names="compressing\ from\ a\ data\ pointer"><title>Compressing from a data pointer</title><paragraph>For avoiding the data copy problem in the previous section, <literal>blosc</literal>
comes with a couple of lower-level functions: <literal>compress_ptr</literal> and
<literal>decompress_ptr</literal>.  Here are they in action:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)

10 loops, best of 3: 17.8 ms per loop   # ~ 4.5 GB/s
>>> a2 = np.empty(a.size, dtype=a.dtype)

100 loops, best of 3: 11 ms per loop   #  ~ 7.3 GB/s
>>> (a == a2).all()
True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong
pointer or wrong size).</paragraph><paragraph>On the other hand, and contrarily to the <literal>pack_array</literal> / <literal>unpack_array</literal>
method, the <literal>compress_ptr</literal> / <literal>decompress_ptr</literal> functions do not need to
make internal copies of the data buffers, so they are extremely fast
(as much as the C-Blosc library can be), but you have to provide a
container when doing the de-serialization.</paragraph><paragraph><literal>blosc</literal> has a maximum <literal>blocksize</literal> of 2**31 bytes = 2 GB. Larger <literal>numpy</literal> arrays must
be chunked by slicing, for example as:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = b''
>>> for index in np.arange( a.shape[0] ):
    c += blosc.compress_ptr(a[index,...].__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)</literal_block></section><section ids="fine-tuning-compression-parameters" names="fine-tuning\ compression\ parameters"><title>Fine-tuning compression parameters</title><paragraph>There are a number of parameters that affect the de/compression bandwidth
achieved by <literal>blosc</literal>:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>The information content of the underlying data, and <literal>chunksize</literal>: the size of
the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve
compression ratios when the</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>clevel</literal>: the compression level called for the algorithm.  Called as an

that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting
ones and a Python <literal>ThreadPool</literal> or similar object can be used for parallel
processing either with or without <literal>blosc</literal> threads. Initial testing suggests
that an equal mix of <literal>ThreadPool</literal> and <literal>blosc</literal> threads is near optimal. I.e. a
computer with 16 cores would have 4 <literal>blosc</literal> threads and 4 <literal>ThreadPool</literal> threads.
An example of combining <literal>blosc</literal> and <literal>ThreadPool</literal> may be found in

how to use it in a Python environment) is pretty easy.  It basically mimics
the API of the <literal>zlib</literal> module included in the standard Python library.</paragraph><paragraph>Here are some examples on how to use it.  For the full documentation, please
refer to the <reference name="Library Reference" refuri="http://python-blosc.blosc.org/reference.html">Library Reference</reference><target ids="['library-reference']" names="['library reference']" refuri="http://python-blosc.blosc.org/reference.html"/>
section.</paragraph><paragraph>Most of the times in this tutorial have been obtained using a VM with 2 cores
on top of a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3380M CPU @ 2.90GHz.</paragraph><section ids="compressing-and-decompressing-with-blosc" names="compressing\ and\ decompressing\ with\ blosc"><title>Compressing and decompressing with <literal>blosc</literal></title><paragraph>Let’s start creating a NumPy array with 80 MB full of data:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> bytes_array = a.tostring()  # get an array of bytes</literal_block><paragraph>and let’s compare Blosc operation with <literal>zlib</literal> (please note that we are
using IPython for leveraging its timing capabilities):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import zlib
>>> %timeit zlib.compress(bytes_array)
1 loops, best of 3: 4.65 s per loop   # ~ 17 MB/s
>>> import blosc
>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.7 ms per loop # ~ 4.5 GB/s and 260x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>but Blosc can use different codecs under the hood. Let’s try the LZ4 codec
(instead of the BloscLZ which is the default):</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4')
100 loops, best of 3: 8.77 ms per loop  # ~ 9.1 GB/s and 530x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>It is important to note that this is quite more than the speed of a memcpy()
in this machine:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit a.copy()
10 loops, best of 3: 27.2 ms per loop  # ~ 2.9 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>which means that both BloscLZ and LZ4 codecs can be faster than memcpy(),
just as the Blosc slogan promises.</paragraph><paragraph>Blosc also comes with the ZLib codec too, and it actually runs faster than
the naked zlib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib')
10 loops, best of 3: 139 ms per loop  # ~ 580 MB/s and 33x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>The reason why the internal Zlib codec in Blosc is faster than the ‘naked’
one is 1) that Blosc can use multithreading (using 8 threads here) and 2)
that Blosc splits the data to compress in smaller blocks that are more
friendly to the caches in modern CPUs.</paragraph><paragraph>Now, let’s have a look at the compression ratios:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zpacked = zlib.compress(bytes_array); len(zpacked)
52994692
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(zpacked)), 3)
1.51     # zlib achieves a 1.5x compression ratio

>>> blzpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='blosclz'); len(blzpacked)
6986533
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(blzpacked)), 3)
11.451   # BloscLZ codec reaches more than 11x compression ratio

>>> lz4packed = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='lz4'); len(lz4packed)
3716015
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4packed)), 3)
21.528   # LZ4 codec reaches more than 21x compression ratio</literal_block><paragraph>Here we can see how Blosc, with its different codecs, is very efficient
compressing this kind of binary data. It is important to note that the
codecs alone are not the only responsible for high compression ratios. See
what a naked LZ4 codec can do on the same string:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> import lz4
>>> lz4_packed = lz4.compress(bytes_array); len(lz4_packed)
80309133
>>> round(len(bytes_array) / float(len(lz4_packed)), 3)
0.996</literal_block><paragraph>That is, the naked LZ4 codec cannot compress the array of bytes at all,
whereas through Blosc LZ4 can compress quite a lot. In fact, this difference
in compression also happens with ZLib:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> zlibpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, typesize=8, cname='zlib'); len(zlibpacked)
875274
>>> round(len(zpacked) / float(len(zlibpacked)), 3)
60.546   # ZLib codec reaches 60x more compression than naked ZLib</literal_block><paragraph>Here it is a plot with the different compression ratios achieved:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'cratio-blosc-codecs.png'}" height="600" scale="75" uri="_images/cratio-blosc-codecs.png" width="800"/></reference><paragraph>The explanation for this apparently shocking result is that Blosc uses
filters (<literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal> currently, but the list can increase
more in the future) prior to the compression stage and these allow in
general for better compression ratios when using binary data.</paragraph><paragraph>How about decompression?:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %timeit zlib.decompress(zpacked)
1 loops, best of 3: 275 ms per loop  # ~ 290 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(blzpacked)
100 loops, best of 3: 17.3 ms per loop  # ~ 4.3 GB/s and 16x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(lz4packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 41.9 ms per loop  # ~ 1.9 GB/s and 6.5x faster than zlib
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress(zlibpacked)
10 loops, best of 3: 40.7 ms per loop  # ~ 2.0 GB/S and 6.8x faster than zlib</literal_block><paragraph>Here we see a couple of things:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>All the internal codecs in Blosc are way faster than naked ZLib</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph>The fastest codec for decompressing here is BloscLZ (remember that LZ4 was
the fastest for compression).</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list><paragraph>The next plot summarizes the speed benchmarks above:</paragraph><reference internal="True" refuri="_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png"><image candidates="{'*': 'speed-blosc-codecs.png'}" height="600" scale="75" uri="_images/speed-blosc-codecs.png" width="800"/></reference><paragraph>These results should reinforce the idea that there is not a single codec
that wins in all areas (compression ratio, compression speed and
decompression speed) and each has its pro’s and con’s. It is up to the user
to choose whatever fits better to him (hint: there is no replacement for
experimentation).</paragraph><paragraph>Finally, here it is the way to discover all the internal codecs inside your
Blosc package:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> blosc.cnames
['blosclz', 'lz4', 'lz4hc', 'snappy', 'zlib', 'zstd']</literal_block><paragraph><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: the actual list of codecs may change depening on how you have
compiled the underlying C-Blosc library.</paragraph></section><section ids="using-different-filters" names="using\ different\ filters"><title>Using different filters</title><paragraph>In the same way that you can use different codecs inside Blosc, you can use
different filters too (currently <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> and <literal>BITSHUFLE</literal>). These allow the
integrated compressors to compress more efficiently or not, depending on
your datasets.</paragraph><paragraph>Here it is an example using the <literal>SHUFFLE</literal> filter:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.SHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 112 ms, sys: 4 ms, total: 116 ms
Wall time: 29.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
6986533</literal_block><paragraph>Here there is another example using <literal>BITSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.BITSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 120 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 128 ms
Wall time: 32.9 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
5942257     #  ~ 1.2x smaller than blosclz/shuffle</literal_block><paragraph>You can also deactivate filters completely with <literal>NOSHUFFLE</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> %time bpacked = blosc.compress(bytes_array, shuffle=blosc.NOSHUFFLE)
CPU times: user 416 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 424 ms
Wall time: 107 ms
>>> len(bpacked)
74323591    #  just a 7% of compression wrt the original buffer</literal_block><paragraph>So you have quite a bit of flexibility on choosing different codecs and
filters inside Blosc. Again, depending on the dataset you have and the
requeriments on performance, you may want to experiment a bit before
sticking with your preferred one.</paragraph></section><section ids="supporting-the-buffer-interface" names="supporting\ the\ buffer\ interface"><title>Supporting the buffer interface</title><paragraph>python-blosc supports compressing and decompressing from any bytes-like
object that supports the buffer-interface: this includes <literal>buffer</literal>,
<literal>memoryview</literal> and <literal>bytearray</literal>:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> input_bytes = b"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

'\x02\x01\x03\x01\x1a\x00\x00\x00\x1a\x00\x00\x00*\x00\x00\x00abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

>>> blosc.decompress(compressed)
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> blosc.decompress(memoryview(compressed))
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> blosc.decompress(bytearray(compressed))
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'</literal_block><paragraph>Note however, that there are subtle differences between Python 2.x and 3.x.
For example, in Python 2.x we can compress/decompress both <literal>str</literal> and <literal>unicode</literal>
types, whereas in Python 3.x we can only compress ‘binary’ data which does
<emphasis>not</emphasis> include <literal>unicode</literal>.</paragraph></section><section ids="packaging-numpy-arrays" names="packaging\ numpy\ arrays"><title>Packaging NumPy arrays</title><paragraph>Want to use <literal>blosc</literal> to compress and decompress NumPy objects without having to
worry about passing the typesize for optimal compression, or having to create
the final container for decompression?  <literal>blosc</literal> comes with the <literal>pack_array</literal>
and <literal>unpack_array</literal> to perform this in a handy way:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> a = np.linspace(0, 100, 1e7)
>>> packed = blosc.pack_array(a)
>>> %timeit blosc.pack_array(a)
10 loops, best of 3: 104 ms per loop  # ~ 770 MB/s
>>> %timeit blosc.unpack_array(packed)
10 loops, best of 3: 76.3 ms per loop  # ~ 1 GB/s</literal_block><paragraph>Although this is a convenient way for compressing/decompressing NumPy
arrays, this method uses pickle/unpickle behind the scenes.  This step
implies additional copies, which takes both memory and time.</paragraph></section><section ids="compressing-from-a-data-pointer" names="compressing\ from\ a\ data\ pointer"><title>Compressing from a data pointer</title><paragraph>For avoiding the data copy problem in the previous section, <literal>blosc</literal>
comes with a couple of lower-level functions: <literal>compress_ptr</literal> and
<literal>decompress_ptr</literal>.  Here are they in action:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)
>>> %timeit blosc.compress_ptr(a.__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)
10 loops, best of 3: 17.8 ms per loop   # ~ 4.5 GB/s
>>> a2 = np.empty(a.size, dtype=a.dtype)
>>> %timeit blosc.decompress_ptr(c, a2.__array_interface__['data'][0])
100 loops, best of 3: 11 ms per loop   #  ~ 7.3 GB/s
>>> (a == a2).all()
True</literal_block><paragraph>As you see, these are really low level functions because you should
pass actual pointers where the data is, as well as the size and
itemsize (for compression).  Needless to say, it is very easy to cause
a segfault by passing incorrect parameters to the functions (wrong
pointer or wrong size).</paragraph><paragraph>On the other hand, and contrarily to the <literal>pack_array</literal> / <literal>unpack_array</literal>
method, the <literal>compress_ptr</literal> / <literal>decompress_ptr</literal> functions do not need to
make internal copies of the data buffers, so they are extremely fast
(as much as the C-Blosc library can be), but you have to provide a
container when doing the de-serialization.</paragraph><paragraph><literal>blosc</literal> has a maximum <literal>blocksize</literal> of 2**31 bytes = 2 GB. Larger <literal>numpy</literal> arrays must
be chunked by slicing, for example as:</paragraph><literal_block force="False" language="default" linenos="False" xml:space="preserve">>>> c = b''
>>> for index in np.arange( a.shape[0] ):
    c += blosc.compress_ptr(a[index,...].__array_interface__['data'][0], a.size, a.dtype.itemsize, 9, True)</literal_block></section><section ids="fine-tuning-compression-parameters" names="fine-tuning\ compression\ parameters"><title>Fine-tuning compression parameters</title><paragraph>There are a number of parameters that affect the de/compression bandwidth
achieved by <literal>blosc</literal>:</paragraph><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph>The information content of the underlying data, and <literal>chunksize</literal>: the size of
the data in each call to <literal>compress</literal> and analogous functions. ‘blosc’ does not
manage chunksize itself, but an example implementation can be seen in the
<literal>bloscpack</literal> module.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>n_threads</literal>: The number of threads to spawn inside <literal>c-blosc</literal>.
<literal>n_threads</literal> may be changed by calling <literal>blosc.set_nthreads(16)</literal> for example.
<literal>blosc</literal> performance generally scales sub-linearly with the number of threads
with a coefficient roughly around 0.5-0.67.  I.e. the expected performance
compared to a single thread is 1.0 / (0.6*n_threads). For systems with
hyper-threading the optimum number of threads is usually a small over-subscription
of the number of _physical_ (not virtual) cores.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>blocksize</literal>: is the size of each continuously memory-element that is compressed,
in bytes. Normally <literal>blosc</literal> attempts to automatically guess the size of
each compressed block of data, but the user can set it manually by calling
<literal>blosc.set_blocksize( size_in_bytes )</literal> for hand optimized situations. Often
the L2 cache size (e.g. 256kB for an Intel Haswell) is a good starting
point for optimization.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>shuffle</literal>: as discussed above the <literal>shuffle</literal> mode can substantially improve
compression ratios when the</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>clevel</literal>: the compression level called for the algorithm.  Called as an
argument to <literal>compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>cname</literal>: the compressor codec itself.  Each codec has its own characteristics
that also vary depending on the underlying data.  For example, ‘lz4’ tends
to prefer smaller <literal>blocksize</literal> and does not slow significantly with <literal>clevel</literal>.
In comparison <literal>zlib</literal> and <literal>zstd</literal> both slow substantially with increasing <literal>clevel</literal>,
with an inflection point around <literal>clevel`=4-5 for 'zlib' and `clevel`=2-4
for 'zstd'. Called as an argument to `compress</literal> and similar functions.</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><literal>releasegil</literal>: optionally the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can be turned
off during <literal>c-blosc</literal> operations by calling <literal>blosc.set_releasegil(True)</literal>. The
default is off as there is a small overhead in releasing the GIL which can be
significant for a small <literal>blocksize</literal>. GIL release is intended to be used in
situations where other bounds (such as file or network I/O) are the rate-limiting
ones and a Python <literal>ThreadPool</literal> or similar object can be used for parallel
processing either with or without <literal>blosc</literal> threads. Initial testing suggests
that an equal mix of <literal>ThreadPool</literal> and <literal>blosc</literal> threads is near optimal. I.e. a
computer with 16 cores would have 4 <literal>blosc</literal> threads and 4 <literal>ThreadPool</literal> threads.
An example of combining <literal>blosc</literal> and <literal>ThreadPool</literal> may be found in
<literal>bench/threadpool.py</literal>.</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list></section><section ids="links-to-external-discussions-on-blosc-optimization" names="links\ to\ external\ discussions\ on\ blosc\ optimization"><title>Links to external discussions on <literal>blosc</literal> optimization</title><bullet_list bullet="*"><list_item><paragraph><reference name="Synthetic Benchmarks" refuri="http://www.blosc.org/synthetic-benchmarks.html">Synthetic Benchmarks</reference><target ids="['synthetic-benchmarks']" names="['synthetic benchmarks']" refuri="http://www.blosc.org/synthetic-benchmarks.html"/> by Francesc Alted</paragraph></list_item><list_item><paragraph><reference name="Genotype compressor benchmark" refuri="http://alimanfoo.github.io/2016/09/21/genotype-compression-benchmark.html">Genotype compressor benchmark</reference><target ids="['genotype-compressor-benchmark']" names="['genotype compressor benchmark']" refuri="http://alimanfoo.github.io/2016/09/21/genotype-compression-benchmark.html"/> by Alistair Miles</paragraph></list_item></bullet_list></section></section></document>
