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 ...

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.

Google’s TurboQuant has the internet joking about Pied Piper from HBO's "Silicon Valley." The compression algorithm promises ...

Brother and sister team Peter Ma and Nancy Ghaly presented Piper Pied, a lossless compression algorithm for online images, at the Disrupt NY Hackathon today. The startup is a “creative spin” on Pied ...

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 ...

Suffix arrays serve as a fundamental tool in string processing by indexing all suffixes of a text in lexicographical order, thereby facilitating fast pattern searches, text retrieval, and genome ...

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 ...

Compression is front and center at Facebook’s annual @Scale conference in San Jose. The social networking giant open-sourced a homegrown algorithm called Zstandard at the event today that is described ...

Over the past few years there has been a remarkable progress in the quality of display devices, with 4K displays becoming the norm, and 8K and 10K displays following closely. However, this increase in ...
