Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Common audio data formats such as the Compact Disc generally store a two-channel (stereo) audio signal. The left and fight channel data streams are stored entirely independently. Various new data ...

We all use compression (gzip, zip, xz, zstd, brotli). The idea is simple: the algorithm finds repeated patterns and encodes them more compactly—e.g. AAAA → 4A. What defeats every compression algorithm ...

Image compression is an essential technique for efficient transmission and storage of images. The demands for transmission and storage of multimedia data are increasing exponentially. A gray scale ...

Best use case: Storage/download compression with decode-at-load, or custom per-tensor quantization pipelines. mlx-entropy-extension/ ├── entropy_coded/ │ ├── entropy_coded.h # C++ primitive ...

RedShark Replay: The one where Phil Rhodes doesn't mince his words in wondering why not! For some reason(!) the world has failed to take any notice of the article I wrote a while ago on the subject of ...

This paper presents BARCO SILEX’s IP solutions for accelerating picture compression and decompression with the recent JPEG2000 algorithm. The algorithm is briefly explained and the structure of the ...
