XZ single core compression

This test uses a build of XZ Utils to compress a 1080p Tech Quickie video at level 9 compression. It measures the duration in milliseconds the first five cores and then averages it for a total score.

This is test is not suitable for processors that have less than 6 primary performance cores. Running this test on a processor with less will result in including efficiency/small cores in the result, skewing the scores.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• 6+ core system

Output

report.json

• score: the average duration in milliseconds
• version: the version of xz utils
