LZMA / LZMA2 are default and general compression methods of 7z format in the 7-Zip program. LZMA provides a high compression ratio and fast
decompression, so it is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used for ROM (firmware) compressing.
LZMA SDK includes:
C++ source code of LZMA Encoder and Decoder
C++ source code for .7z compression and decompression (reduced version)
ANSI-C compatible source code for LZMA / LZMA2 / XZ compression and decompression
ANSI-C compatible source code for 7z decompression with example
C# source code for LZMA compression and decompression
Java source code for LZMA compression and decompression
lzma.exe for .lzma compression and decompression
7zr.exe to work with 7z archives (reduced version of 7z.exe from 7-Zip)
SFX modules to create self-extracting packages and installers
ANSI-C and C++ source code in LZMA SDK is subset of source code of 7-Zip.
LZMA features:
Compression speed: 2-8 MB/s on 4 GHz CPU using two cpu threads.
Decompression speed on single cpu thread:
30-100 MB/s on modern 4 GHz CPU (Intel, AMD, ARM).
5-15 MB/s on simple 1 GHz RISC CPU (ARM, MIPS, PowerPC).
Small memory requirements for decompression: 8-32 KB + DictionarySize
Small code size for decompression: 2-8 KB (depending on speed optimizations)
The LZMA decoder uses only CPU integer instructions and can be implemented for any modern 32-bit CPU.
