LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed > 500 MB/s per core (>0.15 Bytes/cycle).
It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core (~1 Byte/cycle).
A high compression derivative, called LZ4_HC, is available, trading customizable CPU time for compression ratio.
LZ4 library is provided as open source software using a BSD license.

Benchmarks
----------
The benchmark uses the
[Open-Source Benchmark program by m^2 (v0.14.2)](http://encode.ru/threads/1371-Filesystem-benchmark?p=33548&viewfull=1#post33548)
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](http://sun.aei.polsl.pl/~sdeor/index.php?page=silesia) in single-thread mode.

<h2>Transfer + Decompression Time @1000Mbit/s <small>(without I/O overwrapping, multithreading)</small></h2>
<p>
This benchmark simulates simple "static content transfer" scenario such as OS Kernel compression
or video game's static assets (text/images/tables/scripts/etc) which loading from Flash Memory / HDD / SSD.
</p>
<p>
In this case, compression time is completely ignored.
Because only content developers compress the data at once and usually they don't care about its computational cost.
But they always care enduser's experience a.k.a. "loading time" and bandwidth.
</p>
<p>
Please pay attention to "LZ4HC -9" which is quite faster than other methods.

This benchmark simulates "dynamic content transfer" scenario such as filesystems, caches, network packets, IPC/RPCs, and databases.
</p>
<p>
In this case, both compression and decompression times are important.
You can observe "Fast compression algorithms" are better than traditional algorithms such as DEFLATE (zlib).

## Documentation
The LZ4 block compression format is detailed within [lz4_Block_format](https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/master/doc/lz4_Block_format.md).
For streaming arbitrarily large amount of data, or compress files of any size,
a frame format has been established, detailed within the file [lz4_Frame_format](https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/master/doc/lz4_Frame_format.md).

## Interoperable LZ4 ports and bindings
The following versions are provided for languages beyond the C reference version.
They are in conformance with the LZ4 [block] and [frame] specifications, and are therefore interoperable.

## Customs LZ4 implementations
The following versions compress data blocks with the LZ4 compression algorithm in various programming languages.
They use the [block] compression format, and deal with metadata (like `compressed_size`) in various custom ways (or none at all, letting the caller deal with it).
Consequently, they are not interoperable with LZ4 command line utility, nor (generally) between themselves.
