Get the details on Brotli-G, including the modifications we made to Brotli, and how you can use it via our new SDK and Compressonator.

Benefits

Brotli-G allows for efficient, data-parallel decompression on GPUs and multithreaded CPUs, while still maintaining comparatively high, state-of-the-art compression ratios for general-purpose data. Compression is useful for digital assets in applications because it can help websites and video games load faster, while keeping file size (and thereby storage costs) down.

Brotli-G is accessible to all for evaluation and features open-source licensing similar to the original Brotli codecs.

Requirements

OS: Windows® 10 or later. 32-bit or 64-bit.
Hardware: Any DirectX® 12 compatible GPU with Shader Model 6
