Description

MRCZ is a highly optimized compressed version of the popular electron microscopy MRC image format. It uses the Blosc meta-compressor library as a backend. It can use a number of high-performance loseless compression codecs such as 'lz4' and 'zstd', it can apply bit-shuffling filters, and operates compression in a blocked and multi-threaded way to take advantage of modern multi-core CPUs.
