+SUMMARY="Blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library"
+DESCRIPTION="Blosc is a high performance compressor optimized for binary \
+data. It has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster \
+than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a \
+memcpy() OS call.  Blosc is the first compressor (that I'm aware of) that is \
+meant not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but \
+also to accelerate memory-bound computations."
