Turbo Base64:Fastest Base64 SIMD/NeonBuild Status

Fastest Base64 SIMD Encoding library
  • 100% C (C++ headers), as simple as memcpy.
  • No other base64 library encode or decode faster
  • :sparkles: Scalar can be faster than other SSE or ARM Neon based base64 libraries
  • :new: (2019.12) Turbo Base64 SSE faster than other SSE/AVX/AVX2! base64 library
  • :new: (2019.12) Fastest AVX2 implementation, damn near to memcpy
  • TurboBase64 AVX2 decoding is ~2x faster than other AVX2 libs.
  • :new: (2020.1) For short string, TurboBase64 is 3-4 times faster than other libs.
  • :new: (2019.1) Fastest ARM Neon base64
  • :+1: Dynamic CPU detection and JIT scalar/sse/avx/avx2 switching
  • Base64 robust error checking, optimzed for long+short strings
  • Portable library, 32/64 bits, SSE/AVX/AVX2, ARM Neon, Power9 Altivec
  • OS:Linux amd64, arm64, Power9, MacOs, s390x. Windows: Mingw, visual c++
  • Big+Little endian
  • Ready and simple to use library, no armada of files, no hassles dependencies


Benchmark incl. the best SIMD Base64 libs:

  • with TurboBench
  • Single thread
  • Including base64 error checking
  • Small file + realistic and practical (no PURE cache) benchmark with large binary game assets corpus pd3d.tar (20 MB)
  • Unlike other benchmarks, the best of the best scalar+simd libraries are included

Compile: (Download or clone Turbo Base64 SIMD)

    git clone git://github.com/powturbo/TurboBase64.git
    make

Usage: (Benchmark App)

    ./tb64app file 
    or  
    ./tb64app

Function usage:

static inline unsigned turbob64len(unsigned n)
Base64 output length after encoding

unsigned tb64enc(const unsigned char *in, unsigned inlen, unsigned char *out)
Encode binary input ‘in’ buffer into base64 string ‘out’
with automatic cpu detection for simd and switch (sse/avx2/scalar
in : Input buffer to encode
inlen : Length in bytes of input buffer
out : Output buffer
return value: Length of output buffer
Remark : byte ‘zero’ is not written to end of output stream
Caller must add 0 (out[outlen] = 0) for a null terminated string

unsigned tb64dec(const unsigned char *in, unsigned inlen, unsigned char *out)
Decode base64 input ‘in’ buffer into binary buffer ‘out’
in : input buffer to decode
inlen : length in bytes of input buffer
out : output buffer
return value: >0 output buffer length
0 Error (invalid base64 input or input length = 0)
