All,
This is a bit of a general question inspired by going to the
"Compression for Scientific Data" tutorial at SC18 last week. Namely, is
there currently an easy way to test out and try new compressors like zfp
and SZ in netCDF?
I know they need to be compiled and registered and all with HDF5 (which
I could probably get to happen), but as my shop is a netCDF (Fortran)
shop and not an HDF5 shop, I can't quite use them until they can be
accessed through netCDF.
A search online shows that perhaps once there was a "compress" branch of
netCDF-C, but it seems stale.
Is there any effort in Unidata to start supporting the HDF5 extra
compressors? Or are they supported and I just don't know enough advanced
netCDF to know how to use them (always possible!)?
Thanks,
Matt
