  Description     : Fixed-Rate Compressed Floating-Point Arrays
 This is a compressed format for representing multidimensional 
floating-point
 and integer arrays.  zfp provides compressed-array classes that support 
high
 throughput read and write random access to individual array elements. 
zfp
 also supports serial and parallel (OpenMP and CUDA) compression of 
whole
 arrays, e.g., for applications that read and write large data sets to 
and
 from disk.

It has bindings for C, C++, Fortran, and Python, as well as a cli tool
