There are two categories of data compression. The first reduces the size of a single file to save storage space and transmit faster. The second is for storage and transmission convenience. The JPEG ...

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 ...

Lossless or lossy: If you have big data, know what type of compression to use Your email has been sent Illustration: Lisa Hornung/iStockPhoto Must-read big data coverage What Powers Your Databases?

Effective compression is about finding patterns to make data smaller without losing information. When an algorithm or model can accurately guess the next piece of data in a sequence, it shows it’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
