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.
nvcomp
- 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.

Community Event: "nvCOMP: a CUDA library for Fast Lossless Compression and Decompression on GPUs"
Your link to https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvcomp, is broken because of the comma at the end.
pixz
- pixz: Parallel, Indexed xz Compressor
-
Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works

Xz format considered inadequate for long-term archiving
pixz (https://github.com/vasi/pixz) is a nice parallel xz that additionally creates an index of tar files so you can decompress individual files. I wonder if dpkg could be extended to do something similar.
-
The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)
There's pixz, which indexes the tarball, allowing listing/extracting individual paths without decompressing the whole thing.
-
Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
Also relevant is pixz [1] which can do parallel LZMA/XZ decompression as well as tar file indexing.

7-Zip 21.0 alpha introduces native Linux support
Yes, it's as easy as installing pixz with symlinks pointing to xz (I think Debian even does this automatically as part of its post-installation scripts).

PeaZip 7.7.1 released!
Not quite what you're asking, but if you're a 7-Zip fan and on Linux, you might be interested in pixz.
