Evaluate LZ4 realtime compressor for loader #54

Open jserv opened 11 years ago

jserv commented 11 years ago

While @georgekang 's working on #51 , it is important to introduce an efficient realtime compressor. lz4 claims to be a very fast lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.

We should evaluate it on ARM Cortex-M in advance.
