I'm working on a very large production system which needs to store many, many small segments of similar, text-like data (think alphanumeric with many similar substrings). If we gzip each segment ...

Compression algorithms for speech, audio, still images, and video are quite complicated and, more importantly, nearly always lossy. Thus, samples often change dramatically once they’re decompressed.

Part 2 benchmarks the compression algorithms. It will be published July 20. Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are generating a huge and rapidly growing flood ...

Various types of data are compressed during communication between web servers and browsers. As algorithms with higher compression rates continue to be developed and popularized, Google has announced ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...
