Welcome to Qat-Java!

Qat-Java provides accelerated compression and decompression using Intel® QuickAssist Technology (QAT). It relies on a JNI binding to the APIs provided by Intel® QATzip library.

Features

• Supports DEFLATE and LZ4 compression algorithms.
• Supports an execution mode that fails over to software when hardware resources are limited and cannot be acquired.
• Supports compression based on Java byte arrays and byte buffers.
• Supports an output stream filter for compressing data and an input stream filter for decompressing data.

Java Docs

The Java documentation for the project is available at javadoc.io.

Limitations

• The current version, v1.0.0, is not thread safe.

Releases

Qat-Java releases are done both in github and Maven.

The release version has three parts: major.minor.patch. All new features and improvements initially go into minor versions. When minor versions become stable, a major version is created.
