bwmonstr

The program...

...implements a "compressed model" in which the data is kept compressed in memory all the time.

Compressed model program flow:

Compression: compression -> bwt -> compression
Decompression: decompression -> compression -> unbwt -> decompression

BWMonstr is able to perform BWT compression and decompression using about 0.5n space for English text. This is 10% of the amount that typical BWT implementations use and around 3% - 5% that of PPM or CM implementations.

The program supports multi-threading. In practice the speedup for compression translates in the following way:

2 processors: 1.57x
3 processors: 1.83x
4 processors: 2.25x

The compressor is featured in the BWT comparison.
