Storage has to be reliable, efficient and resilient. However, efficiency and resilience oppose one another. What’s the best solution? New file formats, CRC in the file system, or what?
Lossy and non-lossy compression explained, with examples and an outline of how JPEG compression is performed.
Now has three presets to control speed and energy consumption of compression and decompression, together with complete custom control.
How to work out how many threads and which cores are needed to achieve a compression rate up to 1.7 GB/s, and how to estimate power and energy.
Provided in Archive Utility and three command tools, its LZFSE compression even supports APFS special files like clones and sparse files.
If apps control the Quality of Service, which sets how macOS allocates them to different processor cores in an M1 chip, how can we have any control?
