Images transmitted over the world wide web are an excellent example of why data compression is important. Suppose we need to download a digitized color photograph over a computer's 33.6 kbps modem. If ...

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 ...

A novel technique rethinks hardware data compression to free up more memory used by computers and mobile devices, allowing them to run faster and perform more tasks simultaneously. A novel technique ...

Alireza Doostan is leading a major effort for real-time data compression for supercomputer research. A professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the ...

Large Language Models (LLMs), often recognized as AI systems trained on vast amounts of data to efficiently predict the next part of a word, are now being viewed from a different perspective. A recent ...

With more and more embedded systems being connected, sending state information from one machine to another has become more common. However, sending large packets of data around on the network can be ...

Facebook is open sourcing a new compression algorithm called Zstandard that aims to replace the common technology behind the Zip file format. The most common algorithm behind the Zip file format is ...
