    Example program demonstrating use of the Blosc filter from C code.

    To compile this program using gcc or clang:

    gcc/clang multithread.c -o multithread -lblosc -lpthread

    or, if you don't have the blosc library installed:

    gcc -O3 -msse2 multithread.c ../blosc/!(*avx2*)*.c  -I../blosc -o multithread -lpthread

    Using MSVC on Windows:

    cl /Ox /Femultithread.exe /Iblosc multithread.c blosc\*.c

    To run:

    $ ./multithread
    Blosc version info: 1.4.2.dev ($Date:: 2014-07-08 #$)
    Using 1 threads (previously using 1)
    Compression: 4000000 -> 158494 (25.2x)
    Succesful roundtrip!
    Using 2 threads (previously using 1)
    Compression: 4000000 -> 158494 (25.2x)
    Succesful roundtrip!
    Using 3 threads (previously using 2)
    Compression: 4000000 -> 158494 (25.2x)
    Succesful roundtrip!
    Using 4 threads (previously using 3)
    Compression: 4000000 -> 158494 (25.2x)
    Succesful roundtrip!
