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.

I never used a buffer but was always depacking in place, yet however still with a small overlap. |

Here is a first experimental test. At least my usual benchmark stuff passes, also overlap for normal cases decreased, possible that the the old algorithm did something wrong (or the new does, haha)
As said, highly experimental, hurt yourself at your own risk. One might want to feed more files to the testsuite in the benchmark folder. The checksums + sizes and loadaddresses are not automated yet, some sed wizardry should help out there soon.
Now, with the end address check the non overflowing case on the dst-pointer addition is favoured and thus one cycled saved compared to the standard version. |

There's one problem with the in place decompression arising:
If you happen to have the source data not in place but at some other location in mem, the last literal will not be copied, unless you include it as a literal sequence into the control stream. Then however, if a file ends with a literal, the end check is missed when it is only done upon matches. Means: one has to either add another bogus match which makes the depacked data 2 bytes longer, or test on both cases, what bloats and slows down the depacker. Also The old sentinel could be used for that. |

Well if the source data is not in place but at some other location in mem, then you're not doing in place decompression :P |

Sure, but one might want to use the same decruncher code for both purposes, for e.g. in a demo ;-) |

For now, i decided to add the check back in, that ends decrunching after a 257 byte match is decoded. This decreases speed slightly, but i have made other optimizations to compensate for more than that. |

Oh, thanks for posting those.
How many cycles to decrunch? (or, speed in bytes per second produced or consumed, I can work out the rest from there) |

I've been porting this to the Amiga for a self extracting executable, so got around to testing the cycle times for this data: https://github.com/martinpiper/C64Public/blob/master/Decompress.. |
