SecureENCODE Memory Requirements

MEMORY Requirements for Encoding

SecureENCODE Memory Requirements:

We have done some tests to show how SecureDELTA for Windows v2.55 impacts the Operating System when it creates binary diff file or different sizes.

For this test, we are creating a Zero-Delta file. The Zero-Delta binary diff file is a file created with on its own image, where the source is a replica of the target file and vice-versa.

Please note the speed and the memory consumption of SecureENCODING procedure varies heavily on the type of data. The more redundant the data is, the less information is holds, therefore less memory is required to hold and further process that information.

See below the differences on memory requirements from a 300MiB file to a 400MiB file. Even if the 400MiB file is bigger in size, its data is more redundant, therefore the memory requirement is lower, 451MiB versus 639MiB+.

We have chosen slightly redundant files with some exceptions for these tests. See the comments below.

SecureDELTA in normal mode: SecureDELTA algorithm:

FILE SIZE(s)		MEMORY USED (MiB) PEAK MEMORY(**)	SecureDELTA File Size (KiB*)	COMMENTS
Source File (MiB*)	Target File (MiB*)
100 MiB	100 MiB	163 MiB	1.673 KiB
200 MiB	200 MiB	250 MiB	2.482 KiB
300 MiB	300 MiB	639 MiB	3.362 KiB
400 MiB	400 MiB	451 MiB	4.718 KiB	The total memory used usually depends on the redundancy of files. The higher the redundancy, the faster the encoding operating gets. Also, the operation requires less memory (RAM).
500 MiB	500 MiB	862 MiB	6.303 KiB
600 MiB	600 MiB	963 MiB	7.319 KiB
700 MiB	700 MiB	1.072 MiB	7.926 KiB
800 MiB	800 MiB	1.374 MiB	8.996 KiB
900 MiB	900 MiB	1.376 MiB	9.747 KiB	The total memory used greatly depends on the redundancy of files. The higher the redundancy, the faster the encoding operating gets. Also, the operation requires less memory (RAM).
