Any action needed for fixing CodeFactor or Codecov failures?
Context: Some devices on the Xanadu Quantum Cloud need to return multiple arrays of data with different shapes or data types. Furthermore, sometimes the size of a job result is a limiting factor due to limited bandwidth. This PR adds support for compressed result data, and supports returning dictionaries of result arrays instead of a single array per job.
Description of the Change: With this change, job results can be serialized using
numpy.savez
ornumpy.savez_copressed
. In this format, a dictionary of numpy arrays can be transferred, with compression disabled or enabled.Benefits: Cloud devices can now return dictionaries of numpy arrays, and comporession can be used to reduce the data payload.
Possible Drawbacks: For single result arrays, it is not clear whether the client supports compression or not.
