TurboBench: The Ultimate Data Compression Benchmark
100+ Codecs. The Powerhouse in a Single Executable — The Compression Lie Detector
Tired of misleading benchmarks with I/O overhead, cache effects, and CPU throttling? TurboBench delivers high-precision, zero-overhead results you can actually trust.
Why TurboBench Stands Out
The only benchmark that includes 100+ popular, latest, and fastest compressors (LZ77, Rolz, BWT, Context Mixing, Entropy Coders, and more).
100% in-memory testing — no disk I/O to skew your results.
Supports multiple files, recursive directories, and smart concatenation of small files into multiblock tests.
Built to avoid common pitfalls like cache scenarios and throttling found in other tools.
Unlock peak performance — TurboBench reduces throttling by intelligently controlling the CPU frequency
Automatic sorting, updating, and merging of result files.
A nightly github release is created automatically whenever submodules change.
Creates a separate result file ([email protected]) for each compressor set
TurboBench rank aggregation crowns the top compression libraries with — see who's king!
