Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Intel QuickAssist Technology Zstandard Plugin for Zstandard
For using accelerators (QAT, I assume, because the article is about this) from the CLI, then QATzip[3] comes with a command line tool qatzip which can be used as described in the project ReadMe. I didn't test it, though, as I have no QAT-enabled device.

At least college isn't making me learn Objective-C.
Examples: - Someone I know created machine-optimized library in c and asm to accelerate compression, erasure coding, and encryption on Intel Xeon CPUs (https://github.com/intel/isa-l) which runs those ops WAY faster than the standard linux libraries. - My friend is making a retro SEGA genesis game using a C and asm dev kit (https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK)

How Much Faster Is Making a Tar Archive Without Gzip?
igzip (https://github.com/intel/isa-l) is much faster than gzip or pigz when it comes to decompression, 2-3x in my experience. There is also a Python module (isal) that provides a GzipFile-like wrapper class, for an easy speed-up of Python scripts that read gzipped files.
However, it only supports up to level 3 when compressing data, so it can't be used as a drop-in replacement for gzip. You also need to make sure to use the latest version if you are going to use it in the context of bioinformatics, since older versions choke on concatenated gzip files common in that field.

Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
You can grab the version from the solaris userland repo I linked and use it without me completing a homework assignment. Just grab the pigz-2.3.4 source then apply the patches from [1] in the proper order. Maybe some of them aren't needed for non-Solaris.

I thought I had opened a PR for that a long while ago, but it doesn't show up on github these days. In any case, I did ask Mark Adler to review it. It was never a priority, then the code changed in ways that I don't really want to deal with.
While looking through the PRs, I noticed a PR for Blocked GZip Format (BGZF) [2]. That's very interesting, and perhaps suggests that bgzip is a tool you would be interested in.
