EGTB compression (H. G. Muller tablebase...)
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:36 am
Given the following uncompressed H. G. Muller tablebase file:

From here:

I ran a compression benchmark against the file, which shows compression ratio and speed of both compression and decompression:
C:\COMPRE~1\bench\Release>bench KBB_KN
LZF 3.1 VER : 22490 KB (28.8%) 150.2 MB/s 289.0 MB/s.
FastLZ 0.1.0 1: 22751 KB (29.1%) 177.6 MB/s 329.5 MB/s.
FastLZ 0.1.0 2: 22507 KB (28.8%) 141.1 MB/s 325.5 MB/s.
LZO 1X 2.02 : 20575 KB (26.3%) 144.5 MB/s 361.7 MB/s.
QuickLZ 1.4.0 4 : 18339 KB (23.5%) 35.0 MB/s 429.1 MB/s.
The QuickLZ 1.4.0 compressor created an 18 MB file that decompresses at 429 MB/Sec.
The size certainly compares well with Nalimov files:
Directory of C:\arena\Engines\Nalimov
06/04/2003 11:00 PM 17,795,185 kbbkn.nbb.emd
06/04/2003 11:00 PM 13,167,012 kbbkn.nbw.emd
I bring this up because it is so cotton-picking hard to get ahold of Eugene for permissions.
I was wondering, which other EGTB formats are available as open source? I believe the Scorpio format is published.
So we have:
H.G.Muller
D.Shawul
E.Nalimov
with source code for EGTB available. Are there any others?
