Everyone has unzipped files via an algorithm called Deflate that has been used for data compression for 20 years. Now Facebook says it has something better called Zstandard.

Lossless data compression plays a vital role in addressing the growth in data volumes, real-time processing demands, and bandwidth constraints that modern systems face. Dr. Sotiropoulou will deliver ...

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives data compression libraries provide highly optimized, implementations of all the common data compression algorithms.

Data structures and algorithms constitute the foundational pillars of computer science. They provide the systematic methods for organising, storing and manipulating data, and offer step-by-step ...

Some time ago we wrote here about Samplify Systems, a company producing an unusual and quite efficient suite of data compression algorithms. Today, Samplify will announce a switch in business plans, ...

Google is no Silicon Valley startup, but it's just as intent on creating compression algorithms as the fictional "Pied Piper." The search giant is about to unleash its latest algorithm, called ...

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 20-year old vulnerability in the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithm – used in some Android phones, the Linux kernel, and even Mars Rovers – was finally patched this week.

With a better data compression algorithm, you see, Hooli can pack more data into fewer machines and send it across the Internet at faster speeds. That means Hooli can save lots of money.

Data Compression Strategies Table 27-1 shows two different ways that data compression algorithms can be categorized. In (a), the methods have been classified as either lossless or lossy . A lossless ...
