License PyPI Build Docs

TensorStore is an open-source C++ and Python software library designed for storage and manipulation of large multi-dimensional arrays that:

  • Provides advanced, fully composable indexing operations and virtual views.

  • Provides a uniform API for reading and writing multiple array formats, including zarr and N5.

  • Natively supports multiple storage systems, such as local and network filesystems, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3-compatible object stores, HTTP servers, and in-memory storage.

  • Offers an asynchronous API to enable high-throughput access even to high-latency remote storage.

  • Supports read caching and transactions, with strong atomicity, isolation, consistency, and durability (ACID) guarantees.

  • Supports safe, efficient access from multiple processes and machines via optimistic concurrency.

Documentation and installation instructions are at https://google.github.io/tensorstore.

Getting Started

To get started using the TensorStore Python API, you can install the tensorstore PyPI package using:

pip install tensorstore

Refer to the tutorials and API documentation, or the announcement on the Google Research Blog for more details.
