Abstract: Rapidly evolving high performance computing resources result in an exponential increase in data storage demands. Scientific data compression is a much cheaper alternative to constantly expanding data storage units. However, due to the nature of current floating point representations and scientific simulations, lossless compression is rarely relevant. Lossy compression offers a viable alternative, however there are two main challenges, namely hesitancy of applications scientist and seemingly low compression ratios. We present our approach to tackling these two problems...
