Introduction: ------------- This file is a part of bsc and/or libbsc, a program and a library for lossless, block-sorting data compression. bsc is a high performance file compressor based on lossless, block-sorting data compression algorithms. libbsc is a library based on bsc, it uses the same algorithms as bsc and enables you to compress memory blocks.

Please see the file LICENSE for full copyright information and file AUTHORS for full list of contributors. See also the bsc and libbsc web site: http://libbsc.com/ for more information. Memory usage: ------------- bsc compresses large files in blocks. Multiple blocks can be processed in parallel on multiple-core CPU. At decompression time, the block size used for compression is read from the header of the compressed file. The block size and number of blocks processed in parallel affects both the compression ratio achieved, and the amount of memory needed for compression and decompression. Compression and decompression requirements are the same and in bytes, can be estimated as 16Mb + 5 x block size x number of blocks processed in parallel. GPU memory usage for NVIDIA CUDA technology is different from CPU memory usage and can be estimated as 20 x block size. NVIDIA GPU acceleration: ------------------------ 1. libbsc uses NVIDIA CUDA technology, resulting in a performance boost on computers with NVIDIA GPU of compute capability 1.1 or higher. Lists of supported GPUs can be found on the NVIDIA website http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus. You also need to install latest graphics drivers that support CUDA. 2. Individual kernels are limited to a 2-second runtime by Windows. Kernels that run for longer than 2 seconds will trigger the Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) mechanism. Detailed information on disabling the Windows TDR is available at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487368.aspx#E2 Sort Transform: --------------- Sort Transform is patented by Michael Schindler under US patent 6,199,064. However for research purposes this algorithm is included in this software. So if you are of the type who should worry about this (making money) worry away. The author shall have no liability with respect to the infringement of copyrights, trade secrets or any patents by this software. In no event will the author be liable for any lost revenue or profits or other special, indirect and consequential damages. Sort Transform is disabled by default and can be enabled by defining the preprocessor macro LIBBSC_SORT_TRANSFORM_SUPPORT at compile time. Back 40 Computing: ------------------ The Back 40 Computing project is a collection of fast, efficient GPU primitives. This project implements a very fast, efficient radix sorting method for CUDA-capable devices. libbsc uses the Back 40 Computing primitives for constructing Sort Transform for CUDA-capable devices.
