Intel IPP provides optimized implementations of the common data compression algorithms, including the BZIP2*, ZLIB*, LZO*, and a new LZ4* function, as “drop-in” replacements for the original ...
[Part 2 examines delta encoding and LZW compression.] Data transmission and storage cost money. The more information being dealt with, the more it costs. In spite of this, most digital data are not ...
Data compression has emerged as a vital tool for managing the ever‐increasing volumes of data produced by contemporary scientific research. Techniques in this field aim to reduce storage ...
Concurrently, research in data compression has explored dynamic and forward-looking approaches that build on traditional methods such as Huffman coding.
Transform compression is based on a simple premise: when the signal is passed through the Fourier (or other) transform, the resulting data values will no longer be equal in their information carrying ...
Data compression is the science of shrinking. Compression makes the data that creates images, sounds, video and even text small enough to be sent through telephone wires--the network of the Internet.
Microsoft is open-sourcing and releasing to the Open Compute Project its 'Project Zipline' data-compression algorithm, plus related hardware specs and source code.
A new form of data compression, called Zippads, will create faster computer programs that could drastically lower the costs of computing.
Google has made available online a new data compression code that it said can speed up downloads from the Internet —and benefit mobile Internet users.
Facebook’s app developers already employ a bunch of data compression techniques, but the company said these methods cannot keep up with the rate at which it adds new features and updates.
