LZ4 - Extremely fast compression
LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems. A high compression derivative, called LZ4_HC, is also provided. It trades CPU time for compression ratio.

This is the official LZ4 repository.
The “master” branch will reflect, the status of lz4 at its official homepage. The “dev” branch is the one where all contributions must be merged before being promoted to master. If you plan to propose a patch, please commit into the “dev” branch. Direct commit to “master” are not permitted. Feature branches also exist, temporarily, typically to introduce some new requirements and functions, and for dedicated testing before merge into “dev” branch.
Benchmarks
The benchmark uses the Open-Source Benchmark program by m^2 (v0.14.2) compiled with GCC v4.6.1 on Linux Ubuntu 64-bits v11.10, The reference system uses a Core i5-3340M @2.7GHz. Benchmark evaluates the compression of reference Silesia Corpus in single-thread mode.
