libstreamvbyte 3.0.0-1

Package Information

Descriptionfast integer compression in C using the StreamVByte codec

StreamVByte is a new integer compression technique that applies SIMD instructions (vectorization) to Google's Group Varint approach. The net result is faster than other byte-oriented compression techniques.

It includes fast differential coding.

It assumes a recent Intel processor (e.g., haswell or better) or an ARM processor with NEON instructions (which is almost all of them).
