Top 8 C Lz4 Projects

  • LZ4

    Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

    Project mention: Number sizes for LZ77 compression | /r/compression | 2023-04-30

    LZ4 is a bit more complicated, but seems faster: https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/dev/doc/lz4_Block_format.md

  • 7-Zip-zstd

    7-Zip with support for Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5 and Zstandard

    Project mention: WinRAR musste shady werden. | /r/de | 2023-12-10
  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pgBackRest

    Reliable PostgreSQL Backup & Restore

    Project mention: pgBackRest: PostgreSQL S3 backups | dev.to | 2023-08-10

    This tutorial explains how to backup PostgreSQL database using pgBackRest and S3.

  • lzbench

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

    Project mention: My experience with btrfs so far | /r/linuxmasterrace | 2023-05-07

    Do not re-compress your file into level 3. The decompression speed is largely the same between level 3 and 8, so you just wasting CPU doing nothing and making your files larger. See the bottom of the README: https://github.com/inikep/lzbench

  • p7zip

    A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).

    Project mention: Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) | /r/linux | 2023-04-20

    nearly every main distro I am aware of has both available. The reason you still see p7zip is because the CLI incompatibilities vs the newer 7z/7zip executables and the general licensing issues. Most users of "old p7zip" are actually using the actively maintained https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip which is updated, supporting unix permissions and zstd and so on.

  • lizard

    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)

  • TurboBench

    Compression Benchmark

    Project mention: Zstd Content-Encoding planned to ship with Chrome 123 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-07

    I'm still unconvinced about this addition. And I don't even dislike Zstandard.

    The main motivation seems to be that while Zstandard is worse than Brotli at the highest level, it's substantially faster than Brotli when data has to be compressed on the fly with a limited computation budget. That might be true, but I'm yet to see any concrete or even anecdotal evidence even in the issue tracker [1] while there exist some benchmarks where both Zstandard and Brotli are fast enough for the web usage even at lower levels [2].

    According to their FAQ [3] Meta and Akamai have successfully used Zstandard in their internal network, but my gut feeling is that they never actually tried to optimize Brotli instead. In fact, Meta employs the main author of Zstandard so it would have been easier to tune Zstandard instead of Brotli. While Brotli has some fundamental difference from Zstandard (in particular Brotli doesn't use arithmetic-equivalent coding), no one has concretely demonstrated that difference would prevent Brotli from being fast enough for dynamic contents in my opinion.
