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.

- Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
- GDeflate: An Open GPU Compression Standard
- NVIDIA talks up RTX IO with GDeflate (used in DirectStorage 1.1) to speed up games
- Nvidia's nvCOMP now supports Zstd compression and decompression in GPU
-
DirectStorage 1.1 Coming Soon - GPU Decompression
NVIDIA nvcomp had GDeflate significantly earlier on the GPGPU side: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvcomp. nvcomp releases before 2.3 were open-source.

How to defend when patent office gave smb monopoly for your work (e.g. found on github)? Defend JPEG XL from granted ANS patent? (author here)
In case of rANS patent, beside individual donations, also organizations blocked by given patent could donate - e.g. JPEG, Google, Nvidia, Facebook here.

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.
1. https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/tree/master/compo...
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.
2. https://github.com/madler/pigz/pull/19
- ZSTD 1.5.5 is released with a corruption fix found at Google
- pigz: A parallel implementation of gzip for multi-core machines
-
Pigz: A parallel implementation of gzip for multi-core machines
The bit I found most interesting was actually:
https://github.com/madler/pigz/blob/master/try.h
https://github.com/madler/pigz/blob/master/try.c
which implements try/catch for C99.

Is there stronger zip compression than 7z a -mx9?
pigz seems to be able to do it. https://github.com/madler/pigz
