Datasets for Benchmarking Floating-Point Compressors

Abstract

Compression of floating-point data, both lossy and lossless, is a topic of increasing interest in scientific computing. Developing and evaluating suitable compression algorithms requires representative samples of data from real-world applications. We present a collection of publicly accessible sources for volume and time series data as well as a list of concrete datasets that form an adequate basis for compressor benchmarking.
