[phoronix-test-suite] Add rapidgzip to pts/compression benchmark
I thing it will be interesting to add rapidgzip benchmark to phoronix-test-suite... This way we will collect more statistics and make rapidgzip more popular...
This is how to start benchmark but without rapidgzip yet...
phoronix-test-suite run pts/compression
To add rapidgzip, us I know, we should somehow change https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/phoronix-test-suite/blob/87c7188a50d250cfa9c2225605ef4fb55b045d5e/pts-core/objects/pts_compression.php
If you know how, help would be welcome. The test suite and website look huge. It looks difficult to add something new. I don't even fully understand how to navigate and read the results. I'll have to take a longer look sometime. Note that rapidgzip is only for parallel decompression. So compression benchmarks are not possible, and for decompression, ideally, you would have a file larger than 1 GB, or else, you will not see much benefit, depending on the number of cores. I was also contemplating adding it to lzbench at some time, but it is only for single-threaded benchmarks, and it would be the only one without compression speed results... It does not really fit.
