User documentation

What is Brotli?

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932.

EasyBuild

Version 1.0.9 from CPE 21.06 on

  • The EasyConfig file is based on one from the University of Antwerpen which itself is based on a standard EasyBuilders recipe.

Version 1.1.0 from CPE 24.03 on

  • Library names have changed for the static version so needed a revision of the build process.

Archived EasyConfigs

The EasyConfigs below are additonal easyconfigs that are not directly available on the system for installation. Users are advised to use the newer ones and these archived ones are unsupported. They are still provided as a source of information should you need this, e.g., to understand the configuration that was used for earlier work on the system.
