LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400\nMB/s per core (0.16 Bytes/cycle). It features an extremely fast decoder,\nwith speed in multiple GB/s per core (0.71 Bytes/cycle). A high compression\nderivative, called LZ4_HC, is available, trading customizable CPU time for\ncompression ratio. LZ4 library is provided as open source software using a\nBSD license.\n
