- I'd like to thank the PyTables community that have collaborated in the
- exhaustive testing of Blosc. With an aggregate amount of more than
- 300 TB of different datasets compressed *and* decompressed
- successfully, I can say that Blosc is pretty safe now and ready for
- production purposes.
- Other important contributions:
- * Valentin Haenel did a terrific work implementing the support for the
- Snappy compression, fixing typos and improving docs and the plotting
- script.
- * Thibault North, with ideas from Oscar Villellas, contributed a way
- to call Blosc from different threads in a safe way. Christopher
- Speller introduced contexts so that a global lock is not necessary
- anymore.
- * The CMake support was initially contributed by Thibault North, and
- Antonio Valentino and Mark Wiebe made great enhancements to it.
- * Christopher Speller also introduced the two new '_ctx' calls to
- avoid the use of the blosc_init() and blosc_destroy().
- * Jack Pappas contributed important portability enhancements,
- specially runtime and cross-platform detection of SSE2/AVX2 as well
- as high precision timers (HPET) for the benchmark program.
- * @littlezhou implemented the AVX2 version of shuffle routines.
- * Julian Taylor contributed a way to detect AVX2 in runtime and
- calling the appropriate routines only if the undelying hardware
- supports it.
- * Kiyo Masui for relicensing his bitshuffle project for allowing the
- inclusion of part of his code in Blosc.
