NOTE: This commit only tested on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). Windows
build may not work as expected.
* Use meson >= 0.47.0 cause we use install_man function
* Add three helper Python script:
* CopyFile.py: To copy file
* CreateSymlink.py: To make symlink (both Windows and Unix)
* GetZstdLibraryVersion.py: Parse lib/zstd.h to get zstd version
These help emulating equivalent functions in CMake and Makefile.
* Use subdir from meson to split meson.build
* Add contrib build
* Fix other build
* Add new build options
* build_programs: Enable programs build
* build_contrib: Enable contrib build
* build_tests: Enable tests build
* use_static_runtime: Link to static run-time libraries on MSVC
* zlib_support: Enable zlib support
* lzma_support: Enable lzma support
by triggering the prefetching decoder path
(which used to be dedicated to long-range offsets only).
Figures on my laptop :
no content prefetch : ~300 MB/s (for reference)
full content prefetch : ~325 MB/s (before this patch)
new prefetch path : ~375 MB/s (after this patch)
The benchmark speed is already significant,
but another side-effect is that this version
prefetch less data into memory,
since it only prefetches what's needed, instead of the full dictionary.
This is supposed to help highly active environments
such as active databases,
that can't be properly measured in benchmark environment (too clean).
Also :
fixed the largeNbDict test program
which was working improperly when setting nbBlocks > nbFiles.
will automatically truncate or repeat input as needed,
to create the requested nb of blocks.
default: nb of files, eventually increased appropriately if blockSize is set
measures :
- compression ratio with / without dictionary
- create one dictionary per block
- memory budget for dictionaries
- decompression speed, using one different dictionary per block
current limitations :
- only one file
- 4K blocks only
- automatic dictionary built with 4K size
dictionary can be selected on command line, with -D
* Minor fix
* Run non-optimize FASTCOVER 5 times in benchmark
* Merge fastCover into dictBuilder
* Fix mixed declaration issue
* Add fastcover to symbol.c
* Add fastCover.c and cover.h to build
* Change fastCover.c to fastcover.c
* Update benchmark to run FASTCOVER in dictBuilder
* Undo spliting fastcover_param into cover_param and f
* Remove convert param functions
* Assign f to parameter
* Add zdict.h to Makefile in lib
* Add cover.h to BUCK
* Cast 1 to U64 before shifting
* Remove trimming of zero freq head and tail in selectSegment and rebenchmark
* Remove f as a separate parameter of tryParam
* Read 8 bytes when d is 6
* Add trimming off zero frequency head and tail
* Use best functions from COVER and remove trimming part(which leads to worse compression ratio after previous bugs were fixed)
* Add finalize= argument to FASTCOVER to specify percentage of training samples passed to ZDICT_finalizeDictionary
* Change nbDmer to always read 8 bytes even when d=6
* Add skip=# argument to allow skipping dmers in computeFrequency in FASTCOVER
* Update comments and benchmarking result
* Change default method of ZDICT_trainFromBuffer to ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover
* Add dictType enum and fix bug about passing zParam when converting to coverParam
* Combine finalize and skip into a single parameter
* Update acceleration parameters and benchmark on 3 sample sets
* Change default splitPoint of FASTCOVER to 0.75 and benchmark first 3 sample sets
* Initialize variables outside of for loop in benchmark.c
* Update benchmark result for hg-manifest
* Remove cover.h from install-includes
* Add explanation of f
* Set default compression level for trainFromBuffer to 3
* Add assertion of fastCoverParams in DiB_trainFromFiles
* Add checkTotalCompressedSize function + some minor fixes
* Add test for multithreading fastCovr
* Initialize segmentFreqs in every FASTCOVER_selectSegment and move mutex_unnlock to end of COVER_best_finish
* Free segmentFreqs
* Initialize segmentFreqs before calling FASTCOVER_buildDictionary instead of in FASTCOVER_selectSegment
* Add FASTCOVER_MEMMULT
* Minor fix
* Update benchmarking result
