Description

Compresses scientific datasets with configurable lossy methods, helping researchers reduce storage and transfer costs when exact bit-for-bit preservation is not required. It is useful for large simulation, sensor, or numerical data workflows.

Lossy compression changes data. Choose error bounds carefully, preserve originals when needed, and validate that compressed results remain acceptable for the scientific analysis.
