Top 4 C Compressor Projects

lzbench

1 712 0.0 C

lzbench is an in-memory benchmark of open-source LZ77/LZSS/LZMA compressors

Project mention: Lizard – efficient compression with fast decompression | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-05-24

Note that a benchmark in the README refers to zstd 1.1.1 and brotli 0.5.2, which are very old (the current versions are zstd 1.5.2 and brotli 1.0.9). The same author maintains lzbench [1], which is more or less up-to-date.

TurboPFor

3 650 2.0 C

Fastest Integer Compression

Project mention: q_compress 0.7: still has 35% higher compression ratio than .zstd.parquet for numerical sequences, now with delta encoding and 2x faster than before | reddit.com/r/rust | 2022-02-17

I'm the author of TurboPFor-Integer-Compression. Q_compress is a very interresting project, unfortunatelly it's difficult to compare it to other algorithms. There is not binary or test data files (with q_compress results) available for a simple benchmark. Speed comparison would also be helpfull.

lizard

1 568 0.0 C

Lizard (formerly LZ5) is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and medium compression levels) at decompression speed of 1000 MB/s and faster. (by inikep)
