Zstandard v1.5.4 is a pretty big release benefiting from one year of work, spread over > 650 commits. It offers significant performance improvements across multiple scenarios, as well as new features (detailed below). There is a crop of little bug fixes too, a few ones targeting the 32-bit mode are important enough to make this release a recommended upgrade.

Various Speed improvements

This release has accumulated a number of scenario-specific improvements, that cumulatively benefit a good portion of installed base in one way or another.

Among the easier ones to describe, the repository has received several contributions for arm optimizations, notably from @JunHe77 and @danlark1. And @terrelln has improved decompression speed for non-x64 systems, including arm. The combination of this work is visible in the following example, using an M1-Pro (aarch64 architecture) :

cpu function corpus v1.5.2 v1.5.4 Improvement
M1 Pro decompress silesia.tar 1370 MB/s 1480 MB/s + 8%
Galaxy S22 decompress silesia.tar 1150 MB/s 1200 MB/s + 4%

Middle compression levels (5-12) receive some care too, with @terrelln improving the dispatch engine, and @danlark1 offering NEON optimizations. Exact speed up vary depending on platform, cpu, compiler, and compression level, though one can expect gains ranging from +1 to +10% depending on scenarios.

cpu function corpus v1.5.2 v1.5.4 Improvement
i7-9700k compress -6 silesia.tar 110 MB/s 121 MB/s +10%
Galaxy S22 compress -6 silesia.tar 98 MB/s 103 MB/s +5%

Galaxy S22 compress -9 silesia.tar 51 MB/s 52 MB/s +1%
M1 Pro compress -9 silesia.tar 77 MB/s 86 MB/s +11.5%
i7-9700k compress -12 silesia.tar 31.6 MB/s 31.8 MB/s +0.5%
Galaxy S22 compress -12 silesia.tar 20.9 MB/s 22.1 MB/s +5%
M1 Pro compress -12 silesia.tar 36.1 MB/s 39.7 MB/s +10%

Speed of the streaming compression interface has been improved by @embg in scenarios involving large files (where size is a multiple of the windowSize parameter). The improvement is mostly perceptible at high speeds (i.e. ~level 1). In the following sample, the measurement is taken directly at ZSTD_compressStream() function call, using a dedicated benchmark tool tests/fullbench.

cpu function corpus v1.5.2 v1.5.4 Improvement
i7-9700k ZSTD_compressStream() -1 silesia.tar 392 MB/s 429 MB/s +9.5%
Galaxy S22 ZSTD_compressStream() -1 silesia.tar 380 MB/s 430 MB/s +13%
M1 Pro ZSTD_compressStream() -1 silesia.tar 476 MB/s 539 MB/s +13%

Finally, dictionary compression speed has received a good boost by @embg. Exact outcome varies depending on system and corpus. The following result is achieved by cutting the enwik8 compression corpus into 1KB blocks, generating a dictionary from these blocks, and then benchmarking the compression speed at level 1.

cpu function corpus v1.5.2 v1.5.4 Improvement
i7-9700k dictionary compress enwik8 -B1K 125 MB/s 165 MB/s +32%
Galaxy S22 dictionary compress enwik8 -B1K 138 MB/s 166 MB/s +20%
M1 Pro dictionary compress enwik8 -B1K 155 MB/s 195 MB/s +25 %

There are a few more scenario-specifics improvements listed in the changelog section below.

I/O Performance improvements

The 1.5.4 release improves IO performance of zstd CLI, by using system buffers (macos) and adding a new asynchronous I/O capability, enabled by default on large files (when threading is available). The user can also explicitly control this capability with the --[no-]asyncio flag . These new threads remove the need to block on IO operations. The impact is mostly noticeable when decompressing large files (>= a few MBs), though exact outcome depends on environment and run conditions. Decompression speed gets significant gains due to its single-threaded serial nature and the high speeds involved. In some cases we observe up to double performance improvement (local Mac machines) and a wide +15-45% benefit on Intel Linux servers (see table for details).
On the compression side of things, we’ve measured up to 5% improvements. The impact is lower because compression is already partially asynchronous via the internal MT mode (see release v1.3.4).

The following table shows the elapsed run time for decompressions of silesia and enwik8 on several platforms - some Skylake-era Linux servers and an M1 MacbookPro. It compares the time it takes for version v1.5.2 to version v1.5.4 with asyncio on and off.

Support of externally-defined sequence producers

libzstd can now support external sequence producers via a new advanced registration function ZSTD_registerSequenceProducer() (#3333). This API allows users to provide their own custom sequence producer which libzstd invokes to process each block. The produced list of sequences (literals and matches) is then post-processed by libzstd to produce valid compressed blocks.

This block-level offload API is a more granular complement of the existing frame-level offload API compressSequences() (introduced in v1.5.1). It offers an easier migration story for applications already integrated with libzstd: the user application continues to invoke the same compression functions ZSTD_compress2() or ZSTD_compressStream2() as usual, and transparently benefits from the specific properties of the external sequence producer. For example, the sequence producer could be tuned to take advantage of known characteristics of the input, to offer better speed / ratio.

One scenario that becomes possible is to combine this capability with hardware-accelerated matchfinders, such as the Intel® QuickAssist accelerator (Intel® QAT) provided in server CPUs such as the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (previously codenamed Sapphire Rapids). More details to be provided in future communications.
