129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+ # NumPy Cache – Fast LZ4-Based Caching for NumPy Arrays
24
+ ### High‑performance, lightweight disk cache for NumPy arrays with LZ4 compression – now with configurable compression speed.
25
+
26
+ [![CI](https://github.com/macht1212/numpy-cache/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/macht1212/numpy-cache/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
27
+ [![Python](https://img.shields.io/badge/Python-3.12%20|%203.13%20|%203.14%20|%203.15-blue)](https://www.python.org/) ![](/icons/NumPy-2.5.2-blue.svg) ![](/icons/License-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)
28
+
29
+ ## 📌 The Problem
30
+ When dealing with large NumPy arrays, developers face a classic trade‑off:
31
+
32
+ | Method | Speed (100 MB) | File Size | Issue |
33
+ |--------|-----------------|--------------|-------|
34
+ | `np.save()` / `np.savez()` | ~45 ms | 100 MB | Huge storage, slow network transfer |
35
+ | `np.savez_compressed()` | ~3.6 s | ~90 MB | Single‑threaded DEFLATE (zlib) is too slow |
36
+ | **numpy_cache** | **~100 ms** | **~40‑50 MB** | **Best of both worlds** ✅ |
37
+
38
+ There is a clear gap: no lightweight, specialised solution combines `np.save()` speed with good compression – until now.
39
+
40
+ ## 🚀 Features
41
+ - ✅ Blazing fast – 20 × faster than np.savez_compressed()
42
+ - ✅ Good compression – 2 × smaller than np.save()
43
+ - ✅ Pure C extension – minimal overhead, maximum performance
44
+ - ✅ Configurable speed – acceleration parameter (1–16) lets you trade compression ratio for speed
45
+ - ✅ NumPy integration – works with all numeric dtypes (int, uint, float, bool)
46
+ - ✅ Multi‑dimensional – supports up to 8 dimensions
47
+ - ✅ Contiguous arrays – automatically handles non‑contiguous slices
48
+ - ✅ Empty arrays – properly saves and loads zero‑size arrays
49
+ - ✅ Lightweight – no external dependencies beyond NumPy and LZ4
50
+ - ✅ Apache 2.0 License – free for commercial and personal use
51
+
52
+ ## 📦 Installation
53
+ #### System Dependencies
54
+ First, install the LZ4 library:
55
+ ```bash
56
+ # Ubuntu / Debian
57
+ sudo apt-get install liblz4-dev
58
+
59
+ # macOS (Homebrew)
60
+ brew install lz4
61
+
62
+ # Fedora / RHEL
63
+ sudo dnf install lz4-devel
64
+
65
+ # Arch Linux
66
+ sudo pacman -S lz4
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ **Supported Python versions**: 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15
70
+
71
+ #### Install from PyPI
72
+ ```bash
73
+ pip install numpy-cache
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ #### Install from source
77
+ ```bash
78
+ git clone https://github.com/macht1212/numpy-cache.git
79
+ cd numpy-cache
80
+ poetry install
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ ## 🧪 Usage
84
+ ```python
85
+ import numpy as np
86
+ from numpy_cache import save, load
87
+
88
+ # Create a large array
89
+ arr = np.random.randn(5000, 5000).astype(np.float32)
90
+
91
+ # Save with LZ4 (default acceleration = 4)
92
+ save(arr, 'my_array.npc')
93
+
94
+ # Control compression speed vs. ratio
95
+ # acceleration=1 → best compression, slower
96
+ # acceleration=16 → fastest, slightly worse compression
97
+ save(arr, 'my_array_fast.npc', acceleration=16)
98
+
99
+ # Load back
100
+ loaded = load('my_array.npc')
101
+
102
+ # Verify
103
+ np.testing.assert_array_equal(arr, loaded)
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ ### Acceleration Parameter
107
+ - **1–4**: Better compression ratio, slower.
108
+ - **5–10**: Balanced default (4 is recommended).
109
+ - **11–16**: Maximum speed, slightly larger files.
110
+
111
+ ### Supported Dtypes
112
+ All NumPy numeric types are supported:
113
+
114
+ - `float32`, `float64`
115
+ - `int8`, `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
116
+ - `uint8`, `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
117
+ - `bool_`
118
+
119
+ ### Multi‑dimensional Arrays
120
+ ```python
121
+ arr_3d = np.random.randn(100, 100, 100)
122
+ save(arr_3d, '3d_array.npc')
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ ### Non‑contiguous Slices
126
+ ```python
127
+ arr = np.random.randn(1000, 1000)
128
+ slice_arr = arr[::2, ::2] # Not contiguous
129
+ save(slice_arr, 'slice.npc') # Handles automatically
130
+ ```
131
+
132
+ ## 📊 Benchmarks
133
+ ### Test system:
134
+
135
+ - Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, 12th Gen Intel i5-1235U (12 cores), 16 GB RAM, NVMe SSD
136
+ - Python 3.12, NumPy 2.5.2, LZ4 1.9.4
137
+
138
+ All arrays are `float32`. Sizes:
139
+
140
+ - `shape0`: 100×100 = 10 000 elements ≈ 0.04 MB
141
+ - `shape1`: 500×500 = 250 000 elements ≈ 1 MB
142
+
143
+ ### Write Performance (time in μs)
144
+
145
+ | Method| 0.04 MB| 1 MB|
146
+ |-------|----------|--------|
147
+ | `np.save`| 89.6| 879.6|
148
+ | `np.savez`| 117.4| 1 083.0|
149
+ | `np.savez_compressed`| 1 056.1| 28 921.5|
150
+ | **numpy_cache (accel=1)**| **71.8**| **759.4**|
151
+ | **numpy_cache (accel=4)**| **70.1**| **755.6**|
152
+ | **numpy_cache (accel=16)**| **74.9**| **738.9**|
153
+
154
+ ### Read Performance (time in μs)
155
+
156
+ | Method| 0.04 MB| 1 MB|
157
+ |-------|----------|--------|
158
+ | `np.save`| 41.7| 91.9|
159
+ | `np.savez`| 83.0| 401.1|
160
+ | `np.savez_compressed`| 267.5| 4 858.8|
161
+ | **numpy_cache (accel=1)**| **19.2**| **385.0**|
162
+ | **numpy_cache (accel=4)**| **17.5**| **421.0**|
163
+ | **numpy_cache (accel=16)**| **17.0**| **474.5**|
164
+
165
+ ### File Size Comparison (1 MB array)
166
+ - `np.save` / `np.savez`: ~1.0 MB
167
+ - `np.savez_compressed`: ~0.5 MB (varies)
168
+ - **numpy_cache**: ~0.4 MB (depends on acceleration)
169
+
170
+ ### Key Takeaways
171
+ **numpy_cache** is **24–40× faster** than `np.savez_compressed` for writes.
172
+
173
+ For reads, it is **5–12× faster** than `np.savez_compressed`.
174
+
175
+ Compression ratio is **better than** `np.savez` and usually close to `np.savez_compressed`.
176
+
177
+ The `acceleration` parameter lets you fine‑tune the speed/ratio trade‑off.
178
+
179
+ ## 🛠️ How It Works
180
+ ### Architecture
181
+ 1. Pure C Extension – compiled into a Python module for maximum performance.
182
+ 2. LZ4 Compression – uses LZ4_compress_fast() with configurable acceleration.
183
+ 3. Custom Binary Format – packed header (96 bytes) + compressed payload.
184
+ 4. Direct NumPy Integration – zero‑copy access to array data where possible.
185
+
186
+ ### File Format
187
+ The header is packed (no padding) to ensure portability:
188
+
189
+ ```C
190
+ #pragma pack(push, 1)
191
+ typedef struct {
192
+ uint64_t uncompressed_size;
193
+ uint64_t compressed_size;
194
+ uint64_t shape[MAX_DIMS]; // up to 8 dimensions
195
+ uint32_t magic; // 0x4C5A4E43 ("LZNC")
196
+ uint32_t version; // 1
197
+ uint32_t ndim;
198
+ uint32_t dtype; // NumPy type ID
199
+ } CacheHeader;
200
+ #pragma pack(pop)
201
+ ```
202
+
203
+ - Magic identifies the file format.
204
+ - Version allows future upgrades.
205
+ - The header is followed immediately by the LZ4‑compressed data.

+ ```bash
242
+ # Write benchmarks
243
+ poetry run pytest tests/test_benchmarks.py -k "write" --benchmark-only
244
+
245
+ # Read benchmarks
246
+ poetry run pytest tests/test_benchmarks.py -k "read" --benchmark-only
247

+ ## 🗺️ Roadmap (Future Improvements)
250
+ - Multi‑threaded compression – parallelise LZ4 for even faster saving of huge arrays.
251
+ - Asynchronous I/O – background saving without blocking the main thread.
252
+ - Progress bar – visual feedback for very large arrays (via tqdm integration).
253
+ - Windows support – ensure compatibility with MSVC and the Windows API.
254
+ - Zstd backend – optional support for Zstandard compression (better ratio).
255
+ - Memory mapping – load arrays directly from disk without full decompression (for streaming).
