Rabin fingerprint chunking

test 1

Dataset: linux.git

Rabin fingerprint parameters:

  • prime: 3
  • window_size: 48 KB
  • chunk size (min/avg/max): 2 KB / 8 KB / 64 KB

Results:

  • average chunk size (effective): 9.37 KB
  • dedup chunk size (uncompressed): 19.87 GB (35.55%)

test 2

Dataset: linux.git

Rabin fingerprint parameters:

  • prime: 3
  • window_size: 48 KB
  • chunk size (min/avg/max): 512 B / 2 KB / 8 KB

Results:

  • average chunk size (effective): 2.86 KB
  • dedup chunk size (uncompressed): 9.09 GB (16.26%)

test 3

Dataset: linux.git

Rabin fingerprint parameters:

  • prime: 3
  • window_size: 48 KB
  • chunk size (min/avg/max): 512 B / 1 KB / 8 KB

Results:

  • average chunk size (effective): 1.72 KB
  • dedup chunk size (uncompressed): 6.49 GB (11.60%)

test 4

Dataset: random sample 0.1%

Rabin fingerprint parameters:

  • prime: 3
  • window_size: 48 KB
