Charles Bloom is a data compression expert working on the compression suite at RAD game tools (proprietary library for game developers that delivers better compression ratios and better decompression speed over the best available in open source, i.e. lz4, zstd and lzma): http://www.radgametools.com/oodlecompressors.htm http://www.radgametools.com/oodlecompressors.htm
Here is a blog post of his about Weissman score for compressors, including his and Yann Collet's: https://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2018/01/05-17-16-weissman-score.html https://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2018/01/05-17-16-weissman-s...
- tpetry 8y agoBut no third party not involved with RAD game tools has _ever_ verified these bold claims. Heck, everyone can construct benchmarks to make almost any compression algorithm outperform any other. But if it happens with real world data too is another story.
- Legogris 8y agoThing is, compression performance characteristics depend on data. You will have to run benchmarks on your own data to get real representative and conclusive results.
