This site is a part of bsc and libbsc, a program and a library for lossless data compression
- bsc is a high performance file compressor based on lossless, block-sorting data compression algorithms.
- libbsc is a library based on bsc, it uses the same algorithms as bsc and enables you to compress memory blocks.
Features:
- The source code is available under LGPL license.
- 64 bit and multi-core systems support.
- Highly
optimized code and C++ interface for superior performance.
- Adjustable
block size and multiple algorithms that allows software fine-tuning for maximum speed or
compression efficiency.
- CRC-32
calculation routine for data integrity verification.
- Inplace compression and decompression to save memory.
Benchmarks:
- Typically, bsc outperform modern compression programs like gzip and bzip2 by speed and/or compression.
- You can find results of independent benchmarking of bsc on CompressionRatings website where it is currently ranked in Top3 in Database1, Image1, Medical1, Medical2, PGN1, Source1, Text1 and Text2 tests.
