This repository contains a smalll benchmark program to benchmark FSE and Huffman entropy algorithm speeds over at here
Note, you should have installed rust compiler and cargo (preferrably via rustup) and have cargo in your PATH
It requires a relatively new rust compiler version, about 1.58.0 and above
Clone this repository and navigate to the directory and then
To test FSE run.
cargo run --release -- -f [FILE]To test Huffman run.
cargo run --release -- -z [FILE]Where [FILE] is a file to be compressed
The program will load the whole file to memory and compress and decompress it in memory, verify both files match and then print statistics.
It runs compression and decompression 20 times for each file(first results are usually erroneous)
