Szip

Szip [1] is an implementation of the extended-Rice lossless compression algorithm. The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS) has adopted the extended-Rice algorithm for international standards for space applications[1,6,7]. Szip is reported to provide fast and effective compression, specifically for the EOS data generated by the NASA Earth Observatory System (EOS)[1]. It was originally developed at University of New Mexico (UNM) and integrated with HDF4 by UNM researchers and developers.
