<!-- ABOUT THE PROJECT -->

## About The Project

`libstreamvbyte` is a `C++` implementation of [StreamVByte](#reference), with `Python` bindings using `pybind11`. 

[StreamVByte](#reference) is an integer compression technique that use SIMD instructions (vectorization) to improve performance. The library is optimized with `SSSE3` intrinsics, which are supported by most `x86_64` processors. It uses `sse2neon` to translate `SSSE3` intrinsics to `NEON` intrinsics for `ARM` processors. The library can also be used with other 32-bit architectures, although it will fall back to scalar implementations in those cases.

With `libstreamvbyte`, you can quickly and efficiently compress integer sequences, reducing the amount of storage space and network bandwidth required. The library is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with `Python` via `pybind11` bindings. Whether you're working with large datasets or building a distributed computing system, `libstreamvbyte` can help you improve performance and reduce the resources needed to handle your data.

Currently supports `Python 3.8+` on Windows, Linux (`manylinux_2_17`, `musllinux_1_1`) and macOS (`universal2`).

<!-- GETTING STARTED -->

## Getting Started

### Installation

#### For `Python`

Install from `PyPI` using `pip`.

```bash
pip install libstreamvbyte
```

Or install from `.whl` file.

```bash
pip install "path/to/your/downloaded/whl"
```

To find appropriate `.whl` file, please visit [releases](https://github.com/wst24365888/libstreamvbyte/releases).

#### For `C++`

You must have `CMake` installed on your system.

```bash
# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/wst24365888/libstreamvbyte
cd libstreamvbyte

# build and install
cmake .
make
sudo make install
```

### Usage

#### For `Python`

Import `libstreamvbyte` first.

```python
import libstreamvbyte as svb
```

And here are the APIs.

```python
# Encode an array of unsigned integers into a byte array.
encode(arg0: numpy.ndarray[numpy.uint32]) -> numpy.ndarray[numpy.uint8]

# Decode a byte array into an array of unsigned integers.
decode(arg0: numpy.ndarray[numpy.uint8], arg1: int) -> numpy.ndarray[numpy.uint32]

# Encode an array of signed integers into an array of unsigned integers.
zigzag_encode(arg0: numpy.ndarray[numpy.int32]) -> numpy.ndarray[numpy.uint32]

# Decode an array of unsigned integers into an array of signed integers.
zigzag_decode(arg0: numpy.ndarray[numpy.uint32]) -> numpy.ndarray[numpy.int32]

# Check if the current wheel is a vectorized version.
is_vectorized_version() -> bool
```

#### For `C++`

Include `streamvbyte.h` first.

```cpp
#include "streamvbyte.h"
```

For the APIs, please refer to [include/streamvbyte.h](https://github.com/wst24365888/libstreamvbyte/blob/main/include/streamvbyte.h).

### Example

#### For `Python`

```python
import libstreamvbyte as svb

N = 2**20 + 2

# type(original_data) == np.ndarray
# original_data.dtype == np.int32
original_data = np.random.randint(-2**31, 2**31, N, dtype=np.int32)

# type(compressed_bytes) == np.ndarray
# compressed_bytes.dtype == np.uint8
compressed_bytes = svb.encode(svb.zigzag_encode(original_data))

# type(recovered_data) == np.ndarray
# recovered_data.dtype == np.int32
recovered_data = svb.zigzag_decode(svb.decode(compressed_bytes, N))
```

#### For `C++`

```cpp
#include "streamvbyte.h"

int main() {
    std::size_t N = (1 << 20) + 2;

    std::vector<int32_t> original_data(N);
    for (std::size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
        original_data[i] = rand() - rand();
    }

    std::vector<uint8_t> compressed_bytes = streamvbyte::encode(streamvbyte::zigzag_encode(original_data));
    std::vector<int32_t> recovered_data = streamvbyte::zigzag_decode(streamvbyte::decode(compressed_bytes, N));

    return 0;
}
```

Compile it with linking to `libstreamvbyte`.

```bash
g++ -o example example.cpp -lstreamvbyte
```
