HLSL need DirectX9, however, it is not compatible with Windows 10/11. To make it work, download DirectX End-User Runtime, use 7-zip to open the file and extract only the Jun2010_* files somewhere. Open a command prompt where you extracted the files and run:. Source: about 1 year ago

Most versions of Windows 10 and 11 should be able to open it natively as if it was any DVD inserted, but if not, download 7-Zip and open it with that. Not sure about Mac users as I'm not a Mac user, so you're on your own there. I really hope you all enjoy. This might be my last post on this platform potentially, given that I have no intentions of turning this into a main account. Maybe I'll look into seeing if I... Source: about 1 year ago

7Zip. Winrar. These programs are file archivers that can unpack different file formats. Sometimes when you download a mod/CC file, you need to use these programs to “unzip” the file so that you can use it. Source: about 1 year ago

LZ4[1] intentionally compresses worse than Deflate—where Deflate is LZ77 with Huffman, LZ4 is just LZ77. It’s “we’re saturating Gigabit Ethernet and have some compute left over” compression, not “we need to squeeze our backups as much as possible” compression. If filtering+LZ4 does better than Deflate, then you’ve chosen the filter well. Curiously, for some kinds of binary serialization a good filter in... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

It doesn't destroy performance for the simple reason that nowadays memory access has higher latency than pure compute. If you need to use compute to produce some data to be stored in memory, your overall throughput could very well be faster than without compression. There have been a large amount of innovation on fast compression in recent years. Traditional compression tools like gzip or xz are geared towards... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Just looked it up [1] > LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed > 500 MB/s per core (>0.15 Bytes/cycle). It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core (~1 Byte/cycle). [1]: https://lz4.github.io/lz4/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Planet: weekly As you can see the planet file has the LZ4 extension, this is a compression-algorithm which a very good speed/size ratio and reduces the size with about 20-25 GB. It. Source: almost 2 years ago

I found this interesting dataLZ4 HC (r101) -9) increases transfer speed by about 22%, while only losing a 10% performance on decompression. That's a 12% performance increase overall, not bad! Source: about 2 years ago
