HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format library, version 5) is a versatile, mature scientific software library designed for the fast, flexible storage of enormous amounts of data.

This package provides a plugin to the HDF5 LZF filter for the LZF compression library. Plugins are built for both serial (single processor) jobs (libhdf5-dev) and for multiprocessor (threaded) jobs (libhdf5-mpi-dev).
