Lossless compression benchmarks

Okay kiddo, let's start with understanding what compression means. It's like squeezing a big ball of cotton into a smaller size so it takes up less space. Compression is like that for computer files, which can take up a lot of space on your computer's hard drive. Lossless compression is a way of compressing files without losing any of the information.

Now, we use benchmarks to test how well different compression methods work. A benchmark is like asking a lot of different people to do the same task and see who does it the best. We can use benchmarks to compare different compression methods and see which ones work the best for different types of files.

So, when people talk about lossless compression benchmarks, they are comparing different methods of compressing files without losing any of the information. They test how much each method can compress the file, how long it takes to compress and decompress it, and whether any information is lost in the process.

The goal of a lossless compression benchmark is to find the most efficient method of compressing files without losing any information. That way, we can save space on our computer's hard drive without losing any important data.

I hope that helps you understand what lossless compression benchmarks are all about, kiddo!
