C-Blosc
C-Blosc (c-blosc2) simple, compressed, fast and persistent data store library for C that focuses on compression of binary data. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
lzbench
lzbench is an in-memory benchmark of various compressors. The file used for compression is a Linux kernel source tree tarball. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LZ4 Compression
This test measures the time needed to compress/decompress a sample file (an Ubuntu ISO) using LZ4 compression. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Zstd Compression
This test measures the time needed to compress/decompress a sample file (silesia.tar) using Zstd (Zstandard) compression with options for different compression levels / settings. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
7-Zip Compression
This is a test of 7-Zip compression/decompression with its integrated benchmark feature. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Gzip Compression
This test measures the time needed to archive/compress two copies of the Linux 4.13 kernel source tree using Gzip compression. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
XZ Compression
This test measures the time needed to compress a sample file (an Ubuntu file-system image) using XZ compression. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
System GZIP Decompression
This simple test measures the time to decompress a gzipped tarball (the Qt5 toolkit source package). Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
System XZ Decompression
This test measures the time to decompress a Linux kernel tarball using XZ. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
System ZLIB Decompression
This test measures the time to decompress a Linux kernel tarball using ZLIB. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
RAR Compression
This test measures the time needed to archive/compress two copies of the Linux 5.14 kernel source tree using RAR/WinRAR compression. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
