Nucrunch 0.1
Continuing from the benchmarks WVL posted in Doynamite 1.x:
I dusted off my unfinished nucrunch in December to pack just enough of the second page of Reutastic to give me some workspace for some precalculations. Pity I didn't schedule enough time to pack the entire demo, else it would have been ~90 blocks instead of 190, but I digress. I've spent bits of the past month cleaning up the code, optimizing the packer (mostly by porting it from python to rust :P), and adding reverse direction support.
It's still no more than a component, with an commandline packer and asm decrunch subroutine, but no tools yet for generating an executable from a single commandline. It does at least now support multiple input segments that are unpacked to their destination addresses, and it's also now useable enough to for me to do some benchmarking.
In short, doynamite's ratio looks pretty unbeatable for anything lz based; my ratio's almost identical despite a somewhat different encoding.
Where I can win though is speed at that ratio; nucrunch is usually ten to twenty percent faster. The one exception in the test corpus is 6.bin, where it's 20% slower; not sure why yet.
I've added the times for pucrunch -ffast below for to complete the comparison. Last two columns are nucrunch, and nucrunch -r (the latter decodes in reverse; should be a more useful component for single filers)
If anyone wants to have a play at this stage, poke me and I'll upload some source. Failing that I'll hold off until I at least have something that can make onefilers without any faffing about with relocating the last couple of pages by hand.

Size is definitely pertinent. nucrunch is hardly small at the moment.

Comparing B2 and Bitfire.. The encoders are generating the same format, however not compatible. It has been the same since the first release of ByteBoozer1.0. ByteBoozer2.0 and Bitfire (and probably most others today) are searching through *all* possible ways to win bits, where as Bb1.0 has a faster gready algorithm. Remember it was running on the c64 also(!), but that's why B2 compresses better. B2 and Bitfire encoders do have rather different ways of achieving their goals, which explains the small differences we see in compression rate.
B2 and Bitfire decrunchers are more identical than the encoders. I was working like hell to find another code design than Bitbreaker's that still wasn't slower, but i guess he already examined all those possibilities before me :). So i guess we sort of agree on this rather optimal way of decrunching lz-code.. Now i'm very qurious on what new tricks Nucrunch is bringing up to the surface :). |

LZMV4k decruncher is 137 bytes, LZMV256 is 89 bytes. |

Depends if you're including all the post BASIC setup and memory moving code. |

Just the decrunch engine; assume something else has loaded the data/set $01/cleared interrupts etc and the source and destination areas placed so as to not need special handling. |

Quoting MagerValpThe trick is to ensure that the compressed stream ends with a match. If it ends with a literal, include the literal data without any control bytes at the correct location.
That is absolutely brilliant! |

It is, rather. MagerValp, how were you planning to terminate the stream?
My EOF's over a byte long, and checking end address seems slow if it's not necessarily on a page boundary. |

Impressive on the first one doing so well with a native compressor. But yes, I'm doing an exhaustive search too, with the full file rather than a sliding window. I pinched the idea of literals always being followed by matches from Doynax.
Source is out there now (NuCrunch 0.1), but I suspect most of the gains come from a combination of aggressive inlining, and splitting the bitstream into bits, bitpairs, and nybbles, so I can leave out a lot of the 'next byte?' tests. |

Why use an EOF at all? Inlude how many bytes you should unpack in the header, for speed you could limit that to pages (the tradeoff would be that some data in the end would be overwritten)... |

As already posted earlier, it is sufficient to do any check only in case of a match, be it with an eof marker or by an end address. The check is not more expensive and can even be made without clobbering carry when being done with eor, but takes more size codewise. I have made tests with zero overlap on bitnax, but fail yet on some files with overwriting myself :-/ |
