New method preserves clusters in lossy compression of scientific particle data

Researchers have developed a novel technique to preserve the integrity of clusters within scientific particle data during lossy compression. This method operates on data compressed by existing tools like SZ3, ZFP, Draco, and LCP, adding a compact corrective edit stream. By focusing on connected components rather than exact particle coordinates, the technique ensures cluster membership remains accurate, even improving compression ratios by up to 4x while maintaining competitive throughput.

    Preserving Clusters in Error-Bounded Lossy Compression of Scientific Particle Data

    arXiv:2604.18801v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific particle simulations in cosmology, molecular dynamics, and fluid dynamics produce large-scale datasets whose storage, movement, and analysis increasingly rely on lossy compression. However, existing compressors typica…
