In plain words
libfor is a C library that compresses integers using Frame Of Reference encoding, a technique that reduces storage size by representing numbers relative to a base value. It's designed for developers who need fast, efficient integer compression in their applications. The library uses a scalar implementation optimized for speed, making it suitable for performance-critical systems that handle large datasets.

Integer Map Data Structure2024 · github.com · ▲91This project presents a new data structure for storing ordered integer maps. The proposed data structure is a compressive, cache-friendly, radix tree that has performance comparable to an unordered map (`std::unordered_map`) and is an order of magnitude faster than an ordered map (`std::map`).
A hash array-mapped trie implementation in C2023 · github.com · ▲171Long-simmering side project that is finally ready to see the light. HAMTs are a cool persistent data structure and implementing one has been a lot of fun. Beyond the code, there is likely some value in the extensive and largely complete implementation docs; basic benchmarks are linked in the README, too. Kind of aiming to be "the libavl for HAMTs". That is obviously a high and aspirational bar but a distinct possibility if it stirs up a little interest and/or contribution. Anyways, it's time for this to go out, collect feedback and maybe even some use outside of toy projects. Let me…
