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.

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

Google has released a new data compression algorithm it hopes will make the Internet faster for everyone. Dubbed Zopfli, the open-source algorithm will accelerate data transfer speeds and reduce ...

Microsoft is open-sourcing and releasing to the Open Compute Project its 'Project Zipline' data-compression algorithm, plus related hardware specs and source code.

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, ...

UDRI’s Information Processing and Compression (IPC) researchers provide comprehensive data processing and compression solutions that span the remote sensing application space. Our subject matter ...

Even if you use a “real” compression algorithm, they will almost always perform better if the data to compress has more repeating sequences.

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 ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

AlgoTrim actually specializes in data-compression algorithms—specifically, codecs that deal with images and video on mobile platforms.
