ZXC is a new compression algorithm that achieves decoding speeds 40% faster than the traditional LZ4 algorithm on ARM architecture devices. Developed in C and open-sourced under the BSD-3 license, the algorithm has undergone fuzz testing to ensure stability. Its core advantage lies in its asymmetric design, making it particularly suitable for mobile devices and embedded systems. The GitHub repository shows that ZXC has been integrated into the lzbench suite, enabling developers to conduct fair performance comparison tests. This technology optimization is significant for improving data transmission efficiency and reducing storage footprint, showing great potential especially on devices with ARM chips like Apple’s. The open-source community can further explore its application scenarios to push the boundaries of computing performance.
