Why is there no support for compression?

Interesting idea, but usually a JSON payload is compressed with brotli anyway.

It seems, the computational overhead is not worth it?

The creator says that the PEP image format is meant for small, limited colour images and of course it does lossless compression.
gforce_de · 12 days ago
Thanks for making that clear. But is it worth the hassle?

PNG decoding seems to be fast enough:

  tree1    - PEP =  0.412 ms PNG = 0.25 ms
  font     - PEP =  0.602 ms PNG = 0.663 ms
  nz_scene - PEP = 32.121 ms PNG = 3.069 ms
Anyway, PEP is interesting!

I really needs more benchmarks, especially decompression time. Also the sizes are interesting for very small images, but for real images, there are maybe better lossy variants:

  nz_scene - PEP = 73.542 bytes,
       lossy-PNG = 43.557 bytes,
      lossy-WEBP = 26.654 bytes,
  lossy-mozcjpeg = 15.716 bytes
So it's not about filesize here, it must be decompression speed.

Congrats on launching. Would be good to have a quick trial on the website for a sample image, rather than going through the SDK route.
gforce_de · 20 days ago
I'am also a bit shocked by this SDK approach, why not a simple API where you upload a file, get an ID and wait till it's done? Beside that, sometimes it works, sometimes not:

I've become a fan of https://htmx.org for this reason.

A small 10KB lib that augments HTML with the essential good stuff (like dynamic imports of static HTML)

gforce_de · 4 months ago
The minified version needs ~51 kilobytes (16 compressed):

  $ curl --location --silent "https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@2.0.4" | wc -c

  $ curl --location --silent "https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@2.0.4" | gzip --best --stdout | wc -c

40MWh only keep it running for 90 minutes?
gforce_de · 4 months ago
For 1500 passengers and 30 MWh (i expect they dont arrive 100% empty) this is 20kWh per person. If they travel 80 kilometers, thats 0.25 KWh/person/kilometer. Sounds OK to me (all values are guessed).

Exactly! One would never, ever do that with x86.

You have not seen it, but there are vendors selling such stuff since ~20 years. Google for linux + hardware + cpu hotplug or memory hotplug. The PCI bus helps here.
