LZ4

Lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU.

Free Open Source
Mac
Windows
Linux
BSD

It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.

Speed can be tuned dynamically, selecting an "acceleration" factor which trades compression ratio for more speed up. On the other end, a high compression derivative, LZ4_HC, is also provided, trading CPU time for improved compression ratio. All versions feature the same decompression speed. More Info »
