lvzstd Zstandard Compression

A LabVIEW compression library using the Zstandard compression algorithm. ZStandard is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios.

Supports multithraded Zstandard compression/decompression on:

• Windows (x86, 32/64-bit)
• Linux (x86 64-bit)
• NI Real-Time Linux (x86 64-bit)

Features:

• VIs are thread safe, reentrant, and can be called in parallel
• when compressing, can optionally set the number of threads and the compresssion level

This package relies on a compile library (.dll/.so), which is also distributed at vi.lib/samangh/lvzstd Zstandard Compression/Libraries.

Developed in LabVIEW 2020, but compatible with earlier versions of LabVIEW.

Installation

You can install it using the VI package manager. Alternatively, the VI package is also available to download from releases.

Usage

Should be super easy to compress/decompress. For extra details, see ReadMe.vi and Example.vi.
