It works by training a neural network on your most representative datasets. - -By default, this software uses a genetic algorithm to test different combinations of compression parameters that meet your requirements for both compression ratio and speed for every chunk in the dataset. It assigns a score to each combination and, after a number of iterations, the software stops and uses the best score (minimal value) found for the rest of the dataset. For more info and a graphical visualization, visit https://ironarray.io/btune . + -The process of finding optimal compression parameters in Blosc2 can be slow because of the large number of combinations of compression parameters (codec, compression level, filter, split mode, number of threads, etc.). This can require a significant amount of trial and error to find the best combinations.

It works by training a neural network on your most representative datasets. -To begin the training process, you should buy a license from [ironArray SLU](https://ironarray.io/btune) and provide us with a representative sample of your datasets. We will then perform the training and provide neural network models tailored to your needs, along with general tuning advice for Blosc2. +By default, this software uses a genetic algorithm to test different combinations of compression parameters that meet your requirements for both compression ratio and speed for every chunk in the dataset.
