The following results were obtained using lzbench 1.9, built with gcc 14.2.0 and executed with the options -eall -t16,16 -o1c4.
The tests were run on a single core of an AMD EPYC 9554 processor at 3.10 GHz, with the CPU governor set to performance and turbo
boost disabled for stability. The operating system was Ubuntu 24.04.1, and the benchmark made use of
silesia.tar, which contains tarred files from the
Silesia compression corpus.
