That also will cover most of silesia corpus data. P.S. i reverse ported it, so: https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/companalyze For now that only for guess kernel counters for specific data, i.e. no policy logic. Only RAW counters. To know if tunning needed on specific data case and easy check that heuristic see for that data.

That is just: log2_lshift4(n) { return ilog2(pow(n, 16)); } But that will cause a overflow. log2(8192) -> 13 - 13 bit long 13 * 4 = 52, 52 < 64 That also restrict sample size to 15 bit So we can get approximately same behaviour, by doing like ilog2(pow(n, 4)); https://pastebin.com/VryvqkCy - some numbers TL;DR version: pow(n, 4) - count 100 7 28300 - error % 0.0% 1.1% 3.0% pow(n, 16) - count 18843 11483 14 - error % 0.0% 1.0% 2.8% (I sample Win10.iso image as just big file with different data). I gen error value by: if (shannon_e_f > 0) error = 100 - (shannon_e_i * 1.0 * 100 / shannon_e_f); In fact that cause errors in entropy level like: TRUE -> Integer 83 -> 80 87 -> 84 32 -> 28 In theory that possible to just make entropy level markers more aggressive, like: 70->65 and 85 -> 80 That will cover precision errors. or make a byte level BigInt in kernel (bigint_log2, bigint_Lshift & etc) %) (But this seems inexcusable to me + i'm unsure about performance + I'm afraid Big/Little.Endian) > Code like that could be microbenchmarked so we can see actual numbers, > so far I'm just guessing. I'm mentioned in a cover letter https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/companalyze (implement the heuristic with no optimizations, all code run, to get RAW counters) Over in memory bad compressible data: 8188.

With the v2 patch and direct calculation, I'm ok with leaving some imprecision there.
