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 ...

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 ...

Data structures and algorithms constitute the foundational pillars of computer science. They provide the systematic methods for organising, storing and manipulating data, and offer step-by-step ...

Microsoft is open-sourcing its cloud-compression algorithm and optimized hardware implementation for cloud storage. Microsoft is contributing that algorithm, known as "Project Zipline," plus the ...

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, ...

The amount of data that the big cloud computing providers now store is staggering, so it’s no surprise that most store all of this information as compressed data in some form or another — just like ...

Optimizing data compression methods has become more critical than ever for cloud storage, data management, and streaming applications. Working with compressed data reduces network bandwidth, data ...

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 "Brotli ...
